A week in the life of Paterson (Adam Driver), a city bus driver in Paterson, NJ, as he balances the demands of his working-class job with his passion for poetry and the creative yearnings of his stay-at-home wife Laura (Golshifteh Farahani). Jim Jarmusch wrote and directed this meditative, slice-of-life dramedy.


"Poetry shows us how just a few words can be full of meaning. Paterson, a tone poem of a film, goes about its business the same way, with simple gestures that contain a lot and work on many levels." - Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune


"Adam Driver gives his loveliest, most lyrical performance in this Jim Jarmusch film-one of the year's best-that takes its good, sweet time working its way into your mind and heart. But when it does, you're a goner." - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
