'Last Flight Home' is a new documentary about the last two weeks of 92-year-old Eli Timoner’s life, which he plans to end medically.
on Feb. 4, 2022. It has been edited and republished in light of the film's debut in theaters.
Reading like a more conventional, confessional take on Kirsten Johnson’s 2020 Netflix documentary "Dick Johnson Is Dead,"’s "Last Flight Home" is a bit rougher around the edges than that previous instance of a female filmmaker eulogizing her beloved father through the power of cinema.
"Last Flight Home" centers largely on the last two weeks of 92-year-old Eli Timoner’s life, which he plans to end medically — legal in California, though the doc shows us exactly how complex that process is, with many stipulations and approvals required to ensure it’s what Timoner truly wants. The documentary keeps us locked in with the Timoners as they check in on him, say goodbye and help him fulfill his last wishes.
The rest of the Timoners are inspiring — a tight-knit family gripping on to each final moment with Eli like it’s a precious jewel. They don’t want him to go; we see it in each tear in their eye and every trembling lip. But they know it’s what he wants, and the family approaches this very definitive end date as an opportunity to say heart-wrenchingly detailed goodbyes.
