65 million... reasons to avoid this movie

One of the reasons Jim Jarmusch’s film Paterson, which stars Adam Driver as a New Jersey bus driver, enchanted me so much (and continues to enchant me time after time) is that it never takes a predictable turn. We keep bracing for a traffic accident, and it never comes. And the one scene that does involve a vehicular mishap is surprising, creative, and ultimately delightful — an inspiration for good laughs and a running gag.

In 65, Driver is driving passengers once again.
