400 (+) films about family and relationships within the family.

by yu-73431 • Created 5 years ago • Modified 2 weeks ago
The best of what I've seen, with my rating from 10 to 7 points.

Most of the films in the list are serious films about the psychology of relationships between members of the same family . But there are also several comedies and tragicomedies with meaning.
