Last Flight Home (2022)

An Emotional Look At The Last Days of a Great Man

[10/10 · 30 January 2022]

I've followed Ondi Timoner for years and this is her best as she bares her soul when her father decides it is time to die. She takes us inside his home as she and her family prepare for his death. At first it feels invasive, but soon you are part of the family's emotions and Ondi creatively tells the story of her father's life as he says goodbye to friends and family. There are times you laugh and other times you cry but the end is very uplifting as her sister (a Rabbi) exhorts us all to get rid of self shame and blame long before we die. It is something Eli Timoner finally did on his death bed. This is a must see, life changing documentary.
