Film Review: Nitram is a tragedy of paths not taken enroute to murder

"Nothing is inevitable here: Nitram wasn’t destined, from the moment of his birth, to wind up murdering 35 people in cold blood"

Nitram

★★★★☆

Based on the Port Arthur mass shooting in Tasmania in 1996, which caused Australia to change its gun control laws in a matter of months, Nitram (15) stars Caleb Landry Jones as the eponymous protagonist, an intellectually disabled young man based on Martin Bryant, the real-life mass murderer.
