Nitram

Nitram has quietly become one of the more dependable crime dramas currently available in Australia on Stan, and in the US on Philo and AMC Plus Apple TV Channel . It says what it needs to say in one sitting, no filler. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Caleb Landry Jones anchors it, but the writing does the real work. Put it on tonight on Stan and see for yourself.

There is a reason Nitram keeps coming up in conversation. Nitram treats its mystery as a means, not an end in itself. Based on true events, "Nitram" lives with his parents in suburban Australia in the mid-90s. He lives a life of isolation and frustration at never fitting in. As his anger grows, he begins a slow descent into a nightmare that culminates in the most heinous of acts. The writing gets a boost from Caleb Landry Jones and Judy Davis, who sell every scene they're in. Nitram came out in 2021. The plot mechanics of Nitram never overwhelm the human cost underneath them. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Viewers who think they have seen every crime drama tend to find Nitram proves them wrong. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Caleb Landry Jones carries scenes that would sink a lesser production. The resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary, which is rarer than it sounds.

Nitram was released in 2021, directed by Justin Kurzel. The full 112-minute film is available to watch now.
