7.4/10 – IMDB

Quiet, thoughtful and deeply human, this is one of Jarmusch’s finest and features Adam Driver’s best performance yet — although you do risk coming out with a new affection for modernist poetry.”

Paterson is an extraordinarily humane film about the creative process, told on the smallest scale possible.”
