Snowtown

CrimeDramaMystery120 min

Sixteen-year-old Jamie falls under the influence of his mother’s new boyfriend, John Bunting, and the self-appointed neighborhood watchmen around him — a relationship that pulls him toward torture and murder. Lucas Pittaway is Jamie, a vulnerable teenager in a strained household, while Daniel Henshall’s Bunting brings order, menace, and warped moral certainty into the family’s life. Based on true events in Australia, the film stays close to the routines of a poor suburb as suspicion, petty authority, and gang loyalty harden into something much darker.
