We begin the New Year with Kelly Reichardt’s sixth feature, set in the American northwest which focuses on four women whose stories are low-key and separate, but whose lives overlap and brush against each other. The tone is intimate, drawing the viewer in with subtle, deliberately anti-dramatic observation. Laura Dern, Michelle Williams, Lily Gladstone and Kristen Stewart feature in what might be seen as an unassuming masterpiece, even a ‘minor miracle’ as one critic has claimed. 
A film about a man called Paterson, played admirably by Adam Driver, who works as a bus driver in Paterson, New Jersey, and who writes poetry. Therefore there are associations with the epic poem ‘Paterson’ by the American ‘imagist’ poet William Carlos Williams. Just as wife Laura finally persuades him to publish his poems, disaster and disappointment occur, alleviated only when a mysterious Japanese man accosts him. A movie worthy of Jarmusch at his best.
