  1. 100
    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.
  2. 80
    Director Fly works with a delicate touch, probing the slow, insidious corruption of this fundamentally decent but weak man.
  3. The film is an initially insightful portrait of modern corporate society that unfortunately lapses into melodrama.
  4. 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.
