It's 2016 and we're still supposed to be impressed with watching a white guy move through life with quiet, alarmingly minimal, disappointments? No, thank you.

| Original Score: 1-5 stars | Apr 1, 2017

As Paterson makes these rounds again and again, Jarmusch unhurriedly crafts a cinematic ode to finding both art and delight in the quotidian.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 10, 2017

It's not exactly riveting material, and even Jim Jarmusch - the veteran writer-director who traffics in the day-to-day contemplation of human existence - struggles to make "Paterson" pop.

| Original Score: C | Feb 10, 2017

Jarmusch, who made supernatural vampires seem human in Only Lovers Left Alive, now finds inspiration in the mundane.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 9, 2017

A filmmaker telling his story in pictures and the limitlessness of control he brings to his art. What more can one ask of cinema?

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jan 27, 2017

Jim Jarmusch's latest has moments of beauty that help compensate for a slightly static narrative.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 26, 2017

Jim Jarmusch's Paterson is infused with the poetry of the quotidian, and defying the odds against this type of endeavor, Paterson is also one of the maverick filmmaker's most accessible films.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jan 26, 2017

For the second year in a row, my favorite film is a winning love story named for an urban area more or less in my backyard.

| Original Score: A | Jan 20, 2017

Jarmusch is a next-level storyteller with an amazing ability to deliver a scene that works on face value and as a metaphor

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 19, 2017

If it sounds like not much happens in this film, well, have you ever seen a Jim Jarmusch movie?

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 19, 2017

I think Jarmusch has actually remade "Groundhog Day" as a work of spiritual ecstasy. I also think Paterson the man may be a Zen Ralph Kramden.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 19, 2017

Driver's performance as an uncertain man getting through the day-to-day prosaic, quietly buoyed by passion and artistic commitment, is exquisite.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 12, 2017

Paterson is easily one of Jarmusch's most accomplished films. He portrays the life of the mind and the workings of the creative soul as a kind of secret love affair, a deep, hidden well inside the most ordinary, mundane existence.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 12, 2017

It's a perfect vehicle for Driver, who endearingly captures the hangdog humility of his character.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 12, 2017

Driver is turning out to be one of the finest actors of the moment, an understated star with a great, non-movie-star face.

| Jan 12, 2017

In Jim Jarmusch's new movie Paterson, there's no major action day to day, but magic is constantly bleeding in from around the edges.

| Jan 8, 2017

We come away from the film filled with the alertness and engagement Paterson and Laura bring to their days.

| Original Score: B+ | Jan 5, 2017

Viewers are treated to a portrait of romantic devotion, contentment and vocation all the more affecting for being so utterly, unapologetically heartfelt.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 5, 2017

Jarmusch has created a small miracle of a film, one that is both intellectually dazzling and emotionally provocative.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 5, 2017

'Paterson' is a film extraordinary in its ordinariness, in its willingness to show us people like these, and to suggest that these will be their lives, and that there's nothing disappointing or shameful in that.
