john b I couldn't get a grip on the main charactor. Was he mentally challenged or mentally ill or both.? Why was the rich lady so attached to him? Worth watching, but disturbing and a bit confusing. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/14/25 Full Review Charles T Only leaving a review due to a review here from Diane. Calling Nitram a "psychopathic millennial"... Bryant was born in 1967... so dumb... guessing she's a yank. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/29/25 Full Review Felix T I don't know what everyone else was watching, but this was very boring. Choosing to do a character study of an irredeemable human is a strange choice; he is totally unlikable and nobody that was around that type of individual would be surprised that he shoots up a place. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/30/24 Full Review Alec B A subtle and disturbing character examination. Kurzel is not engaging in cheap sensationalism (evidenced by the fact that the Port Arthur massacre, while acknowledged by the movie, is not openly portrayed beyond its beginning) and while the movie's entire focus is on the perpetrator rather than the victims I think that is a legitimate choice as one can plainly see the repeated patterns in these cases that are too often ignored by authorities. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/24 Full Review Laura B There is nothing new in Kurzam's film, which attempts to approach the figure of the monster with a certain empathy. A monster lacking in love, with a castrating mother and condemned to ostracism by a society that rejects what is different. The underlying discussion is the same as always: whether or not to limit access to weapons, and how to guarantee a balance between individual and collective freedom. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review R B After a slow start, Nitram begins to find its feet when the lead (played by Caleb Landry-Jones) actor meets reclusive and eccentric heiress Helen (Essie Davis) in her grand house squalor. It's then we see more of the disturbed personality of the main character, played well, but not brilliantly. After Helen's death, an opportunity (though a fiction element) to target the car dealer is not realised. The sound on the movie should be improved, there is a lot of mumbling with poor miking, and too much background noise at times. The reason the character targets Port Arthur is also not revealed. Thankfully, Nitram's descent that culminates in the most heinous of acts in modern Australia stops short of the final nightmare scenes, The credits audio is unremarkable. Better audio and a better soundtrack would have helped the film. The film makes a good case to restore the death penalty in Australia. The real Nitram deserves nothing less.
