Based on a true story, Nitram is an isolated young man living with his parents in Australia until he meets an eccentric heiress. What follows is a gripping portrait of nihilism and violence.

Trivia
According to director Justin Kurzel, Texan actor Caleb Landry Jones worked on his Australian accent while in quarantine after arriving in the country, by watching re-runs of 1990s episodes of Hey Hey It's Saturday (1971), Neighbours (1985) and Home and Away (1988).

Errores
Early in the film when Martin and his mother browse at the Surfboard shop a passenger train is visible passing in the background. There are no passenger trains in Tasmania unlike in Geelong, VIC where the movie was shot.

Citas
[Spoilers]
Nitram: Why didn't you cry?
Mum: What?
Nitram: When the police found him, you didn't cry. How come?
Mum: Just because I don't cry doesn't mean I'm not hurting.
Mum: What about you. Why didn't you cry?
Mum: Do you even miss him?
Nitram: No.
Mum: He really loved you.
Nitram: Not enough to stick around, though.
Mum: Yeah, he was so unwell.
Nitram: So?
Nitram: Everyone else feels shitty all the time, walks around feeling fucking sad. Why couldn't he?
Mum: I don't know
Nitram: If anyone should have walked into that dam, it was me. I'm the one no-one listens to. I'm the retard.
Mum: Oh, don't say that.
Nitram: You and dad would always argue about it, wouldn't you?
Mum: No, we didn't.
Nitram: Slow means the same thing, mum. You're not different than all them kids who call me Nitram at school.
Mum: Well... that's not true. I'm your mother.
Nitram: No.
Mum: Yes, I gave birth to you.
Nitram: Sometimes I watch myself. But I don't know who- who it is that I'm looking at. Like... I can't get to him. If I could- I could just change him so that he was like everyone else, but I don't know how. So instead, I'm- I'm here. Stuck here... like this. Eating this shit. Talking to you all because I'm not a coward like him.
Mum: I really- I don't- understand what you're... talking about.
Nitram: It doesn't matter, mum. Neither do I.

Créditos curiosos
End credits read "On April 28th 1996, thirty-five people were killed and another twenty-three wounded in Port Arthur, Tasmania. The lone gunman was sentenced to thirty-five life sentences. The events of that day resulted in an overhaul of Australia's gun laws and the introduction of a National Firearms Agreement. The reforms were agreed to in twelve days. Over 640,000 firearms were bought back by the government and destroyed. No State or Territory has been fully compliant with the National Firearms Agreement. There are now more firearms owned in Australia than in 1996."

We are failing

Dark and disturbing, Nitram is a film that causes us anxiety even knowing what is coming. Or precisely because we know what is coming.

A lot has to fail for such tragedies to happen, but life and the world are really full of these failures that continue to happen every day and we continue to look the other way. Mental health and the way it is seen by society - including those who should protect us - is one of the themes that this film gets right. It is also right when it tells us that weapons will never be in the right hands because there are no right hands to hold a weapon. What is a good hand today may be a bad hand tomorrow. There is a long way to go on this path and not even the minimum of the minimums is done.

Caleb Landry Jones' performance is impressive. I saw the character in it. I saw the traumas, the difficulties, the attempts, the rejections, and all the confusion in his head. And, unfortunately, I also saw exits that he did not see. All the characters around him are well-created and deserve case studies in their own right. They all want something different for him, and many end up doing wrong in the process.

With a raw direction and a slow pace (a cut with less 10 minutes would have been beneficial), this is a film that knows what it wants and what it has to be. It's not supposed to be a pleasant experience. It is necessary. It is required. It exists because now and then we need a hard punch in the stomach to realize where we are all failing.
