Events leading up to the 1996 Port Arthur massacre on Tasmania in an attempt to understand why and how the atrocity occurred.
In Jones’s smoldering performance, we see a man stretched beyond his limits, a rubber band just waiting to snap back.
★★★★
Implicit in the films bleak but sympathetic portrait of a disturbed and shunned young man is that sometimes it takes a village to make a monster.
★★★
Another extraordinary achievement from Kurzel, who has a penchant for evoking gut-sinking emotional atmosphere.
★★★★★
The intense discomfort of this nitroglycerine meditation on what makes a mass murderer is exactly that of watching a lit firework burn down in your hand toward its gunpowder base, unable to let go of it, transfixed by its snapping sparks.
★★★★
