People tried to help her, and tears were streaming down her face, but when she found him, her little boy was laughing, and she could tell that he was laughing at her. The defensive set of her mouth tightens into a look of grief, and her eyes take on a wondering quality.ĭavis’s Mum is telling a story about a time when her grown son was a little boy and hid from her she searched for him for an hour.
But the particular evil she is up against is so finally beyond explanation that the challenge in her face fades a bit. When Davis takes a pause and looks off to the side during this monologue, she seems to be confronting the most confounding evil directly, with a measure of disgust and anger. Davis’s character, identified only as Mum, is in a hellish situation.
The filmmakers seem to know the gravity of what they possess in her work here: the trailer for Nitram showcases a monologue that Davis delivers 40 minutes into the movie. NITRAM WAS QUIETLY released in late March of this year in the United States to select theaters and streaming services, but it did not get the attention it deserved, particularly for one of its lead actors, Judy Davis.
