Part II: Film Review of THE HEIRLOOM, A Rom-Com Psychodrama With Paradoxical Plot and Narrative Twists That Can Be Mesmerizing

Director Moin Hussain has said that his debut feature, science fiction as it is, was the right film genre for him to explore the concept of mixed-race identity, as well as for this reason too: “There was a lot about Adam, the main character’s life — like his mixed heritage identity — that is close to mine.” The story telling essence of of SKY PEALS is transcendent and can almost hypnotically cause audiences to experience more and feel more than they might expect for a science fiction tale. – Article, Review – By Gregg W.
