Such a nice little gem. My first watch of a Jim Jarmusch film and now I'm quite eager to get into his filmography. An appreciation on routine, I tried to find a plot within the first 20 minutes, only to realise the plot was nothing more than what was unraveling on-screen - the everyday life of Paterson. Adam Driver completely steals this. From watching "The Force Awakens" I viewed him as a decent actor, but after this I can clearly say that he's very very good at what he does. Paterson is very hard to read and I ended up the film not knowing whether he is happy or incredibly frustrated with his life. That's what really makes you think - specially because of the way it ends. I was 100% absorbed during the film, and that's what really sold me. You get pulled into this world that's so intriguing and enigmatic and you are left wondering about it.
