“A portrait of a now-gone New York and, sadly, of Chantal Akerman herself. News from Home centres on the tension that occurs when, after yearning for new space, this sensation gives way to the reality of prolonged (perhaps even unbridgeable) distance: the inescapable condition of loneliness.” Kiva Reardon
“Enveloping, graceful, maudlin and spikily class-conscious.” Andrew Simpson
“Akerman’s legacy is a tender, questioning voice in filmmaking, peeling back layers of intimate dynamics.” Sophie Brown
