REVIEW SUMMARY
Inheritance shines through its impromptu filming style and the strength of its lead performances but falls short narratively. Neil Burger pushes the boundaries of traditional filmmaking, proving that creativity and technical skill can overcome any financial limitations. Phoebe Dynevor once again demonstrates her immense talent with a performance that is, above all, confident and assured. For those who value the art of cinema and the risk of experimentation, I recommend giving it a watch.
