Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Like many of Jarmusch's best films, this keeps surprising us with its minimal, witty inflections, at once epic and small-scale.
There's an austerity to [Paterson's] days and to his processes that Jarmusch sells very effectively. And so does Driver, with his off-kilter sincerity.
Paterson himself is deathly allergic to pretension, and the film inhabits his sensibility. It's A Portrait Of The Artist As A Working-Class Stiff, arguing for the mundane beauty of all our lives.
A lovely fable about the fragile, fruitful and occasionally fraught relationship between creativity and everyday life.
