5. Sydsvenskan

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: Jim Jarmusch's film "Paterson", with Adam Driver in the lead, is a typical story for the director: not much happens and the characters are cool cats who are passionate about old pop culture.

8. Moviezine

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: Anyway, "Paterson" is a nice friend to get to know. Not only for the slightly wonderful film experience, but also for what you take with you afterwards. A feeling that the world is a little more special, that everyday life is a little more wonderful and that the small moments are worth cherishing. The feeling that every day is a blank page.

9. Fredrik Fyhr

Positive, no rating

Translated from swedish: Step by step, poem after poem, the film begins to find a form. It is one of the better films I have seen about creativity - it is a difficult subject to actually find an expression for.

10. Nöjesguiden

6.6 / 10

Translated from swedish: With a light touch, Jim Jarmusuch sketches an old industrial town that may live on its past merits, but is far from being called dead. In the hands of another director, the banal everyday life would have been depicted as a suffocating prison. But in Jarmusuch's hands, the repetitive pattern instead forms a hymn to the small moments of everyday life, which in themselves constitute the poetry of life.

11. Göteborgs-Posten

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: The tone is typical of Jarmusch. Although the film is strictly chronological, the scenes almost appear as small short films stacked on top of each other. It is beautifully narrated with brilliant photography by Frederick Elmes.
