Paterson (3 Stars)

"Paterson" is about a man called Paterson who lives in Paterson, New Jersey. He works as a bus driver and writes poetry. Maybe I should put those two activities in the other order. He's a bus driver because he needs money to survive, but poetry is his first love. He's the sort of person who would benefit from Universal Basic Income.

He wakes up every morning between 6 and 6:15. He doesn't need to set an alarm. While working he listens to people talking on the bus. Back at home he talks to his wife. He loves her, even though he frowns when she buys expensive things such as a guitar. In the evening he visits a bar and he takes his dog Marvin for a walk.

It's a low-key film with a lot of repetition that doesn't really go anywhere. Paterson could be you or me. My life isn't exciting, and neither is his. What about yours?
