Paterson's reviews
Media reviews
Indiewire
Carried by an appropriately low-key Adam Driver and Jarmusch's casual genius for capturing offhand remarks, Paterson is his most absorbing character study since "Broken Flowers" -- and far more grounded in real life. There's no context necessary to recognize it as his most personal work.
The Playlist
An unfeasibly charming film full of little wisdoms and quiet comforts where we might expect to find provocations, its only deception is that it is so much richer than it seems at first glance.
Variety
'Paterson', Jarmusch?s wee dramatic curio starring Adam Driver as a New Jersey bus driver ? his name is Paterson, and he lives in Paterson ? is a movie that?s all too aware of how much it diverges from contemporary tempo. That?s because the entire film is a self-conscious anachronism.
The Wrap
A small, cyclical film about the value of a small, cyclical life, Jim Jarmusch's Paterson is a perfect version of itself. His ode to small pleasures and the simple life comes in the form of a simple film that is a small pleasure.
