TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

kados-1 You know what? Watch Snow Cake instead. It has what this movie could have had, but didn't.I guess I had too high expectations of this movie based on the trailer. I was hoping for some deeper meaning, some philosophy even. There are some good shots, nice settings, stray thoughts, and interesting characters. It could've been so much more. Watch out for the textual poetry. It's essentially line breaks in banal sentences.

lilyflower-97250 Sorry if I'm stupid but I didn't get this movie at ALL. It seemed like a melancholic short that just went on forever. His weird wife with the patterns and all the old men and the bus? Like I'm sorry but it was just sad and boring.

Pjtaylor-96-138044 'Paterson (2016)' is a feature built entirely upon, and indeed celebrating, the mundane. It follows a seemingly regular week in the life of a bus-driving poet and doesn't stray too far from the confines of reality, whilst still managing to have a fair amount to say and packing a hefty level of symbolism into its relatively layered narrative. The character work is nice and deep, even though there are really only two major ones, and the film works within the smallest of margins to deliver its changes and growth but still certainly delivers both. It also feels palpably real and remains remarkably entertaining. It's a nice, subtly life-affirming feature that isn't ground breaking but is sort of beautiful in its own unique, low-key kind of way. 7/10

mcjavier The first time I saw Paterson I gave it an 8. While I didn't miss the fact how much he loved Laura, I did miss the other thing - how much Laura loved Paterson. I'm ashamed I only understood him and completely ignored her. Even worse, she annoyed me. But then I turned it on again last night while my partner was asleep, and I needed an inspiration to write. This time I heard loud and clear when Paterson said how much Laura understood him. And she really did. To love is to understand, and Paterson understands Laura and her dreams just as much as Laura understands Peterson and his world. They love each other with love we can only be jealous of. They don't push each other, they wait, hold hands and talk solemnly. They are silent when they know words just cramp up the space. Laura's love for Peterson is love Peterson writes about. It's true and scary, their only truth. Such an exquisite poetry of a movie.
