Ondi has done it again!
28 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Showcasing the extraordinary superman that her father, Eli Timoner, was, Ondi intricately weaves her audience through the journey of a brave, yet harrowing decision he chooses to make. Never have I thought of death as artful or so intimate, yet 'Last Flight Home' highlights the rollercoaster of pain and tragedy as such in a tremendous way.

The film's score (created by Ondi's fiancée, nonetheless, whom Eli grants a blessing over their love), combined with the shots of sunny suburbia both highlight the close attention Ondi pays to any and every detail while curating a story. Stepping into the role of both daughter and filmmaker, her strength is unparalleled.

Although obviously heart-wrenching, this documentary is filled with hopeful symbolism, religion, a sense of familial union, wisdom, and courage. 'LFH' serves as a memento to the past, present, and the future, leaving its viewers both moved and blown away.
