The curator of the world's only penis museum tries to complete his collection by locating a human donor.

Critics Consensus

The Final Member refuses to coast on its provocative subject matter, delivering an engrossing documentary of economic length and impressive depth.

Even though the running time is short, the movie feels stretched out. Perhaps the curious subject matter would have been better served in, er, short form.

One can't really fault Bekhor and Math for trying to entertain rather than educate viewers. But their carnival barker callousness is really disturbing ...

Rated: 1/4

The subject of an eccentric new documentary, the Icelandic Phallological Museum is devoted to preserving the male genitalia of mammals.

Way Too Indie

What The Final Member lacks in ingenuity is made up for by sheer insanity.

One 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.

Rated: 3.5/5

The story itself wasn't as compelling as I hoped but the people involved certainly are a bit fascinating.

For fans of bizarre humor, this is a must see. The starkly-serious tone makes this move absolutely hilarious. The subject's seriousness about his collection of penises and penis related items is sure to make you either laugh out loud or cringe in utter bewilderment and disbelief.

Incredibly funny documentary about one man's quest to add the one elusive exhibit to his one-of-a-kind museum.

This film does not treat its odd characters and subject matter as a joke (though the film has plenty of humor) but with respect.

A weird subject for a documentary but it is more about the subjects of the film than the topic. Like King of Kong a fist full of Quarters there is a villain and a hero that would feel over the top in a traditional movie.
