Estranged Sisters Are Caught In The Past In New Trailer For Inheritance

Inheritance is a new drama film about family, legacy, and grief, and Screen Rant has a first look at the trailer. Inheritance is the second feature film from Emergence Films, a US and UK-based company committed to highlighting the voices of female-identifying and underrepresented filmmakers and storytellers. The movie was directed by Emily Moss Wilson and written by Rachel Noll James and Austin Highsmith-Garces, who both star in the film as well.

Screen Rant is happy to present the trailer for Inheritance. The trailer introduces estranged sisters Lucy and Paige, who reunite to bury their father only to become entangled in the complicated web of their past. In the film, Lucy is played by Rachel Noll James (Uprising, Ingress), and Paige is brought to life by Austin Highsmith-Graces. The movie also stars Star Trek: Picard’s Michelle Hurd and Wes Brown (True Blood). Take a look at the trailer, below:

Movies With Compelling Sibling Relationships To Watch After Inheritance

As the cast and creators of Inheritance reflected on during an interview with Screen Rant, crafting an accurate portrayal of a sibling relationship was key to making the film. It’s a powerful dynamic that has brought out the emotion in plenty of film festival favorites and comedies alike. For those interested in the subtle dramatic exploration of siblings in Inheritance, a film like The Skeleton Twins (2014) could be a perfect follow-up. That movie takes two comedic legends in Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig and puts them together as estranged siblings navigating depression and strained family relationships.

Another pick following Inheritance may be another 2014 gem This Is Where I Leave You. Directed by Shawn Levy (Stranger Things, Night at the Museum), this comedy-drama stars Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, Adam Driver, and Corey Stoll as four siblings who reunite after the death of their father. Screen Rant’s glowing This Is Where I Leave You review praised the cast’s chemistry and the movie’s adept navigation of a complicated tone.

For movies about sisters and that specific dynamic, viewers may want to turn to films like Greta Gerwig’s Little Women (2019) or, for something a little more humorous, 2008’s Sunshine Cleaning. As many options as are out there, Inheritance tackles its subject matter in a unique and interesting way, as seen in the trailer above. Keep an eye out for a release date, as the film is expected to drop in 2024.
