The Inheritance

The plot synopsis on Netflix describes this as a parable, and I think that's a very accurate description. What do you give up for family? Which family is more important - the one into which you are born or the one you choose? When is putting your own needs first selfish and when is it necessary? This film asks all this as we watch our main character make increasingly hard decisions that pit his values against each other. There is a moment in this film, a point of no return, that is both jarring and unsettling in a very poignant way. Very well done. 4/5

Adam's Apples

This Danish black comedy gets darker, wittier & funnier the longer it goes on. Well written & very inventive. 4/5
