Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

katshapiro Paterson is about the double lives people lead, where art and poetry are bubbling up from underneath the surface of daily routine. Some of the characters corageously (even foolishly, in the case of the actor) wear their art on their sleeve, while others just process it and largely keep it to themselves. In the end, though, it's inescapable: "Poetry is everywhere, it just needs editing".The premise is an interesting one, and is rarely explored in any recent cinema. Yet, the dialogue in the movie felt very forced and awkward at times, clearly meant to add style but not substance. The slow pace would have worked if there were fewer "distractions" in the form of stylized humour, and more layers of meaning and intent.

hrkepler 'Paterson' is a movie about bus driver and (secret) poet named Paterson who lives in a city Paterson and whose favorite poet is William Carlos Williams from Paterson who wrote poem about Paterson.It is slow and subtle movie with not much seemingly going on, like our everyday lives. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought the film is nice poem about simplicity of our everyday life. Maybe the slow is not the correct use of words to describe the film - it's quiet but it has nice flow. The two hours running time doesn't seem like two, or even three hours. The film begins (with Monday) and ends (with Sunday) without noticing like the weeks in real life. But with enough memorable moments and events to feel that the time was spent wisely. 'Paterson' never drags, it offers quite many surprises (some can even see them as twists) and nice typical Jarmusch warm and quirky humor.Adam Driver (bus driver) does a fantastic job, and so does the rest of the cast. All the main characters are quirky and pleasant. To me there were no unpleasant characters in the film.It's hard to say if 'Paterson' is Jim Jarmusch's best film (it's hard to choose when ones filmography is primarily filled with masterpieces), but it is definitely a masterful film.

Always Learning If there is an inkling of an artist in you, you will love this movie. If there is kernel of humanity in you, you will treasure it forever. Every word and every screenshot is beautiful, as true beauty is, full of complexity and foreboding and layers of meaning. Jim Jarmusch has created a masterpiece that is likely to go unacknowledged in our noisy world. Adam Driver is among the best actors of our time. He perhaps may be equaled, but I am now convinced he is not surpassed by anyone. He has sneaked on us, and we are yet to fully realize how truly great he is. We should be grateful to these two artists and their excellent collaborators. The final two scenes will make you cry with joy.

Raj Doctor 31 Dec 2017. If one looks back at 2017 - from top 10 grossing Hollywood movies 8 are super-heros, si-fi fantasy stuff. Amidst all that I saw a nonchalant film. "Paterson" (2016)Nothing actually happens in the movie. That is why it is a rare gem. It seems that the director Jim Jarmusch was carrying the idea of this film from last 20 years, and he was lucky it materialized.Though on the box office the movie is a disaster, it got critical acclaim on the approach and courage to venture into this stuff.The movie is about a bus driver named Paterson (Adam Driver - Star Wars fame), living in a small town of US called Paterson. He has a girl-friend Laura (extremely beautiful Golshifteh Farahani - Iranian) who is engaged in re-decorating the house interiors and also is ambitious with dreams of becoming a famous country singer and have her own pastry business. She has a dog Marvin which Paterson takes for a walk everyday evening when he goes to a bar for a drink.Paterson also has a passion for writing poetry - that slowly builds on him during the daily routine - which is quite regimental (understandably due to his timely job pressures as a bus driver)The movie is a reflection on the mundane life of a bus driver and the ups and down one encounters in daily life with different characters one interacts. The way Paterson is shown to take life as it comes, accepting everything that happens to him without much fuss is really admirable - especially when Laura's dog tears his only poetry book to shreds leaving him sad and solemn. In the end, an encounter with a Japanese tourist revives his passion to start re-writing poems.The movie is slow paced, so those of you who want, romance, action, comedy, si-fi, super-natural stuff are advised to be away. The poetry in itself is not great, but is inspiring to the sense that in mediocre life - one can be so fulfilled and at peace and happy as Paterson. The movie is a week's journey starts on a Monday and ends on on nonchalant note on another Monday.For some the direction and the proceeds of movie may seem uninspiring, but one needs to understand the mood and attempt to make something so out of the box and brave. Thanks Jim. That's why it leaves and impression.I would go with 7.5 out of 10
