[THE-STRANGER]
ESSAYS№ 01
Every Australian true-crime adaptation asks permission from the audience and not from the dead
We keep making films about real violence and calling it necessary, and the question of who benefits has not been answered.

FILM№ 02
Thomas M. Wright built The Stranger out of silence
Wright's procedural gives Joel Edgerton nothing to do except wait, and then makes you understand why that matters.

MUSIC№ 03
The score for The Stranger carries the weight the actors are not allowed to show
The score does the emotional work that Joel Edgerton's blankness forbids, and the restraint in both is what makes the film unbearable.
