‘LAST FLIGHT HOME’ REVIEW: A POWERFUL CASE FOR THE RIGHT TO DIE

Filmmaker Ondi Timoner cuts home video footage of her father's euthanasia into an honest and moving argument that everyone should have the same right.

Timoner’s warm, open, and unexpectedly gentle “Last Flight Home” rescues a rare grace from the inherent performativity of saying goodbye. The director’s camera encourages her family to make themselves vulnerable and meet the moment head-on, while legal euthanasia offers them enough control over the timeline to let go of their precious Eli with love in both hands.
