Kenneth Turan

A powerhouse. Highly dramatic and intensely emotional, blessed with strong themes and an unstoppable narrative drive, it is adult, intelligent entertainment of a kind we rarely see these days. Read full review

J.R. Jones

Thomsen's transformation from easygoing entrepreneur to ruthless executive is so engrossing I didn't pick up on the story's chilling Freudian subtext until very near the end. Read full review

Marc Mohan

The politics of the story come to life through the vivid characterizations of a uniformly excellent cast. Read full review

Eddie Cockrell

Arresting and fascinating. Read full review

Dallas Observer Bill Gallo

Indeed, in this era of muckraking left-wing documentaries, The Inheritance offers a more fascinating fictionalized look at what cut-throat capitalism can do to conscience. Read full review

Empire David Parkinson

Tautly scripted by director Per Fly and bullishly played, this is soap for the ciné-sophisticate. Read full review

Jami Bernard

Don't see The Inheritance if you're already depressed. This airless downer from Danish director Per Fly is about an heir who makes one wrong decision from which even lousier decisions effortlessly flow. Read full review
