Finally, Kevin Duncan Wong’s Home Is a Hotel (12:45 p.m. on Saturday, April 22, at CGV Cinemas San Francisco) is a Frederick Wiseman-style observational doc detailing the lives of half a dozen tenants living in San Francisco residential hotels. Like Wiseman, Wong and his co-directors don’t intrude into the lives of their subjects, allowing them to tell their own stories in their own way.
