Johanna Schneller Globe and Mail The result is part auto-fiction, part therapy session and part cheeky joke (it’s very deadpan-funny). It also made my heart hurt, for everyone who’s ever suffered a quarter-life crisis. Dec 2, 2024 Full Review Cian McGrath Loud and Clear Reviews At its heart, this is a story about COVID-19 lockdowns and the madness they inspired, whether through despair and dejection, sudden bursts of creativity, or thinking that adopting a pet could be the answer to all of life’s problems. Rated: 4/5 Jun 3, 2025 Full Review Caroline Madden Vague Visages The Heirloom doesn’t follow a conventional climactic structure, and its brittle, dry humor and abstract tone may not appeal to everyone. However, Petrie’s inventive vision is admirable, and it captures a very specific millennial anxiety that few films do. May 25, 2025 Full Review Emily DuGranrut In Review Online The Heirloom transcends the trope of “pandemic movie” and becomes something far more relatable: a quietly devastating study of how close quarters can transform even the smallest cracks in a relationship into unnavigable canyons. Apr 3, 2025 Full Review Tom Atkinson Film Threat The Heirloom is lean and sharp, a film that knows exactly what it’s doing even when its protagonist doesn’t. Rated: 8/10 Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...? I enjoyed [the duality between reality and fiction] and also invested in the Milly of it all considering her mannerisms are identical to how our Greyhound acted throughout his life, but the big draw is Glowicki’s performance during the second act.
