There's a major difference between Inheritance and The Godfather -- and that's a lack of epic and thematic sweep.

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.
Michael Booth, Denver Post

In his role, Thomsen is strong and convincing.
Bob Longino, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

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.
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

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.
