Last Flight Home Reviews

Eli Timoner gave us a manual for how to live; documenting her father’s life and death, Ondi gives us a manual for how to say goodbye.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 9, 2022

Moving, humane, and cathartic.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 9, 2022

If you’re planning on seeing The Last Flight Home at the cinema, don’t make any plans for afterwards as you’ll be completely done in. I soaked the top half of my jumper with the crying, and then needed to race home to wring it out.

| Nov 30, 2022

Brave, informative, but exclusive.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 29, 2022

Ondi Timoner’s home-movie memoir is a heartbreaking and unexpectedly complex film about her elderly father in his final days.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 23, 2022

A thoughtful and wrenching goodbye.

| Nov 1, 2022

Timoner’s respectful camera, like an unobtrusive observer, never leaves Eli, even at the moment of his death, a sequence that is at once ineffably upsetting and oddly unremarkable.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 31, 2022

Last Flight Home becomes a deeply moving inquiry into what the measure of a man truly is

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 27, 2022

The film could have have benefitted from being pared down.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 19, 2022

A very moving and incredibly intimate portrait of Ondi Timoner's father in his final weeks, days, and hours.

| Oct 15, 2022

Ultimately, and perhaps most beautifully, the film makes a case, à la the musical “Rent,” about how, in the end, we must measure our life in love.

| Oct 12, 2022

This crushingly personal film can make you feel like you’re intruding on a sacred ritual between perfect strangers, but that sense of trespassing is also what allows Last Flight Home to be such an immediate argument for the universal right to die.

| Original Score: B+ | Oct 7, 2022

[An] unbelievably personal, profoundly bittersweet, and occasionally disquieting documentary.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 7, 2022

[A] moving, boundlessly humane documentary...

| Oct 6, 2022

Last Flight Home is an anguished therapy session disguised as a meditation on life and death.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 3, 2022

This film is an intimate, powerful look at a Jewish family saying goodbye to its patriarch...

| Feb 4, 2022

A loving tribute and immersive documentation of these last days, from the Timoner family to yours.

| Feb 1, 2022

It is a tribute, a grappling with mortality, an exercise in self-surveillance, a messy home movie, a brief account of aviation history and a lesson in letting go and grief.

| Jan 28, 2022

Profound in its simplicity, wrenching in its honesty, and beautiful in its humanity.
