Review of Paterson (2016) by Metaflix — 01 Feb 2017
Jim Jarmusch's 'Paterson' is a cerebral examination of the contemplative man. The story has a slow and deliberate pace, much like the bus driven by Adam Driver's character as he watches the world unfold before him, using what he sees and hears and feels as inspiration for the poems he writes in his coveted notebook.
It's a role that is probably the closest we'll see to the real Adam Driver, representing the continuation of a remarkable streak of films that are among the best being produced by Hollywood today.
There are times in the movie when one desires a greater evolution of the characters, or settings, or plot, but that feeling runs against the grain of the film itself. The point is that life is repetitive, and the only way to get better at it is through consistency and persistence.
