3/5
While this is a clever concept capping a very slick film, it remains a concept. Go to Full Review Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) 3d
4/5
An aura of devious menace looms over this black comedy, which attacks the idea of homeownership and aspiration as an extension of the all-too Australian ideal of violent conquest. Go to Full Review Peter Gray The AU Review May 13
3.5/5
Sharp, uncomfortable, and darkly hilarious, Birthright turns a deeply modern housing nightmare into an entertaining and biting portrait of generational frustration. It’s one of those rare films that feels exaggerated and painfully real at the same time. Go to Full Review Jazzmin Crawley Dread Central Apr 4
3.5/5
I recommend checking out Birthright, but not for the thrills; check it for the humor and relatability. Working every day, just to be swallowed up by circumstances, is the true horror story. Go to Full Review Emma Vine Loud and Clear Reviews Mar 2
2.5/5
Although the central theme of Birthright will resonate with some viewers, its overly absurd narrative is too unrealistic to connect with fully. Go to Full Review Stephen A. Russell Orion's Shoulder (Substack) Sep 8
A cathartically chaotic debut feature ... that locks horns with the manufactured housing and cost-of-living crises ... Absurd from the off ... there is, nonetheless, an exceedingly grim reality to the open intergenerational warfare that follows. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
