Reviews for Inheritance
Top CriticTelling and insightful, inventively filmed and extremely well-acted as usual ... but why are Danish films so relentlessly bleak?

like updating Bergman for this millennium

There's a major difference between Inheritance and The Godfather -- and that's a lack of epic and thematic sweep.
02/04/05
What makes The Inheritance so watchable, and so different from recent couples dramas like Closer, is that these privileged people are decent, likable and struggling to do the right thing.
02/04/05
In his role, Thomsen is strong and convincing.
12/09/04
So much of this Danish-Swedish import is so uninteresting that it quickly becomes a chore to sit through. And that's too bad, because the film has a lot to say about professional- vs.-personal life struggles.
10/29/04
Thomsen brings an icy tension to the role, while Norby, as Christoffer's domineering mom, adds a chilling element of Greek tragedy to the story.
10/29/04
a compelling study of the classic struggle men often have to make in choosing between wife and mother, duty and family, right and wrong.
10/16/04
The politics of the story come to life through the vivid characterizations of a uniformly excellent cast.
10/15/04
Fly's point is that private morality has public consequences. And this film's major achievement is making us understand just that.
10/15/04
Top CriticA solid, involving Danish drama that proves discord, struggle and variance need not necessarily be lost in translation.
10/11/04
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.
10/08/04
Top CriticFly's subtle observations about certain elements of the upper class come through with quiet force.
10/08/04
Fly's heartbreaking drama about a man who inherits a ton of power and buckets of sorrow will tell you all you need to know about the soul-destroying nature of corporate culture.
10/07/04
While the entire movie is one massive flashback, the real reasons for all this Danish dysfunction go unexplored.
