Where to Watch Paterson
- Mukul SethOctober 5, 2026Paterson stands firmly apart from the films based on larger-than-life characters in their extraordinary circumstances - which are the vast majority. This movie is a deep meditation on the mundanities of a week in the life of a quiet bus driver in a seemingly insignificant and forgotten corner of suburban New Jersey. Like a poem, just as one that inspired this film, the extraordinary is hidden in the subtext of simple words said plainly. I love movies that give me something to read and explore after I've finished watching them. This one not only inspired me to read, but also to try my hand at writing poetry.
