Our take

Drawn from the comprehensive recordings of an infamous, real-life artist, this ripped-from-the-headlines drama chronicles decades in the life of a dysfunctional Polish household. A claustrophobic study in neurosis and obsession, The Last Family confirms the adage that truth is stranger than fiction.
