Leave your thoughts about The Final Member.
| Seattle TimesJohn HartlThe subject of an eccentric new documentary, the Icelandic Phallological Museum is devoted to preserving the male genitalia of mammals. |
| Orlando WeeklyCameron MeierOne might expect this film to be nothing but R-rated silliness. Well, it's definitely R-rated, but it has a serious and even touching side. |
| Under the RadarZach HollwedelAt 75 minutes, The Final Member is robust with entertainment, if somewhat short on length, which [proves] the old adage: it's not the size that matters, but how you use it. |
| NonficsDaniel WalberIt has the relentless charm of a great cult film, and should be seen that way. |
| Film Journal InternationalMaitland McDonaghThat Jonah Bekhor and Zack Math's The Final Member isn't a sniggering, 72-minute dick joke is an achievement in and of itself. That it's a genuinely moving portrait of men attempting to secure legacies...is remarkable. |
| Toronto StarLinda BarnardHjartarson is a filmmaker's dream: a low-key character with a wonderfully dry sense of humour. But he is also a social scientist, a man passionate about completing his museum collection. |
| Screen-SpaceSimon FosterThe directors take a very matter-of-fact approach to the subject and that goes a long way to saving The Final Member from just being a silly, giggly, boys-own joke. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonThis project isn't intended to mock or titillate anybody, but to depict with sincerity and good humor the story of one man's quest. |
| The DissolveNathan RabinDirectors Jonah Bekhor and Zach Math favor a deadpan, clear-eyed, strikingly simple approach that brings out both the humor and the pathos in the story. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThis wonderfully weird documentary pinpoints the desire to preserve fleeting glories. |
