Review of Paterson (2016) by Gomi A — 28 Jan 2018

This is just purely personal opinion... this film oh boy how boring it was ... the premise is "A quiet observation of the triumphs and defeats of daily life, along with the poetry evident in its smallest details.

" and it's exactly what it was. A week in life of this young couple. He's a bus driver poet and she's stay at home artist. I didn't get his poetry at all. Half through the film I was thinking, is he just a bus driver wanna be a poet and is she a real artist or just that woman who stays at home and thinks she's an artist ? Also it shows you even though at your job you see a hundreds people a day yet it's a lonely job.

Then there is a dog and oh boy the dog he's really something. I envy this guy his character as he reacts to everything completely opposite than I would... ending is heartbreaking I have to say ...

I liked that they showed another Monday .... monday of a week we never get to see but then would anybody want to see another week in life ? Oh the highlight was the mystery who moves the mail box and when she wakes up jus to kiss him and goes to bed again .

.. true romance ... If you an artist and/or understand this film add a star or two ...
