Woodstock Film Fest 2024 Review: Ondi Timoner Compassionately Chronicles a Hospice That Gives Residents a New Lease on Life in “The Inn Between”. The “Last Flight Home” director shines a light on a unique end-of-life facility that offers the unhoused a chance to die with dignity.

Typically Ondi Timoner works with a bigger canvas than she does in “The Inn Between,” with the director of the decade-spanning “Dig!” and the globe-trotting “Cool It” spending a mere four seasons at the Salt Lake City-based hospice of the title which was founded as the only care facility of its kind to offer end-of-life and recuperative care to the unhoused beginning in 2014.

At a concise 71 minutes, it may be one of her smallest films in scale as she follows a handful of patients at the center, but when approaching people with an unusually open heart and mind has always been a part of her gift for filmmaking, the film also feels like one of her most expansive as it becomes a moving survey of a collection of people expecting their days to be numbered upon entering after difficult lives on the street and revived at least in a spiritual sense when treated with dignity.
