If you loved News from Home, try Hotel Monterey
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Hotel Monterey has roughly 3.1× fewer votes than News from Home — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Chantal Akerman, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Documentary territory. If that's the register that drew you to News from Home, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Hotel Monterey is
Rear Window without Jimmy Stewart. The stationary camera observes a lower Manhattan flophouse, inside and out, top to bottom. Akerman's radical gaze captures the loneliness of transient lives.
