Last Flight Home is a profoundly moving and emotional film that so wonderfully captures the life of a beloved father-the kind of person we all wish we had in our life. It's an important film on the issue of assisted suicide but it's also life affirming and inspiring for anyone who's loved or lost someone.
Plot summary
Eli Timoner, a dedicated husband, father, and entrepreneur who founded the airline Air Florida in the 1970s, decides to medically terminate his life. During the 15-day waiting period, the bedridden but sharp-witted Eli says goodbye to those closest to him and helps them prepare for his departure. While his loved ones look back on Eli’s successes and devastating blows, they struggle to reconcile his choice.

A life affirming and inspiring film
Intense, but a bit held out
-Great message to raise awareness about voluntary death laws.
-Well-edited.
-Such a tear jerker. You'll be bawling at every moment.
-I'm sure it was fine, but it just doesn't feel personally right to make a film about this? It just felt a little exploitative.
-It did drag on a little.
Poignant documentary
Last Flight Home is a documentary that had me thinking about it long after I finished watching. I felt as though I was a quiet observer in the Timoners' living room, watching fifteen days go by filled with grief but mostly a huge amount of love.
