‘The Price of Nonna's Inheritance’ Netflix Movie Review - Do You Have It in You to Commit a Murder?

"The Price of Nonna’s Inheritance" is one of those movies you initially thought would be average, but it turns out to be a delightful surprise. Personally, I found the plot to be incredibly engaging. Here’s a breakdown of what happens:

Guiliana, affectionately known as Nonna, is a widow, grandmother, and mother. Far from being a stereotypical elderly woman, Guiliana is a wealthy lady with six million dollars in her bank account. In her youth, she enjoyed a successful career as an actress, but those days are behind her. Now, her life revolves around her beautiful daughter Anna.

Anna is married to her high school sweetheart Carlo and is a mother of two grown children. Before Carlo, Anna dated Nunzio, a notorious womanizer who cheated on her with numerous other girls. That relationship ended badly, leading Anna to find stability and love with Carlo.

Years later, at a school reunion, Anna crosses paths with Nunzio again. Despite his attempts to rekindle their romance, Anna firmly rebuffs him. Nunzio, who now owns a struggling theatre, persuades Anna to give him her mother’s contact information, hoping to cast Guiliana in a play. Anna, thinking nothing of it, obliges.

The story takes an unexpected twist when, a few days later, Guiliana invites her family to lunch and introduces Nunzio (her daughter’s ex) as her boyfriend, announcing their intention to marry. Anna and her family are shocked and alarmed. They suspect that Nunzio is only interested in Guiliana for her substantial inheritance, which Anna rightfully sees as her own.

Determined to protect her mother and her inheritance, Anna, with her family's support, devises a plan to get rid of Nunzio. The tension escalates as they contemplate murder to save Guiliana from being swindled. Will they be able to execute their plan? Will Nunzio really rake Guiliana’s money?

The acting by the cast is spot-on, making "The Price of Nonna’s Inheritance" truly worth watching. The performances are convincing and bring depth to the characters, enhancing the overall experience of the film.

The plot is fast-paced, keeping you engaged from the very beginning. However, it does tend to stretch a bit towards the end, which can feel slightly drawn out. Despite this minor flaw, it doesn't detract from the movie's overall appeal. The intriguing storyline and dynamic character interactions more than makeup for the extended conclusion.

The film’s blend of suspense, drama, and occasional humor creates a delightful and engaging viewing experience. The tension built around Anna’s moral struggle and the impending threat posed by Nunzio keeps the audience invested. Each scene is crafted to maintain interest, making the movie fun to watch despite its occasional slow moments.

Overall, "The Price of Nonna’s Inheritance" is a pleasant surprise that combines strong acting, an engaging plot, and an enjoyable narrative. It’s a film that captivates and entertains, proving to be well worth your time. The movie keeps you on the edge of your seat, making you question whether Anna and her family will go through with their drastic plan or if Nunzio will succeed in claiming Guiliana’s fortune. The plot is filled with unexpected turns and moral dilemmas, making "The Price of Nonna’s Inheritance" a captivating watch.

Final Score- [8/10]
