Paterson guida gli autobus nella città del New Jersey che porta il suo stesso nome. Ogni giorno rispetta una sorta di routine oramai collaudata: attraversa il solito percorso, osserva la città alla deriva dal suo parabrezza, ascolta frammenti delle conversazioni della gente intorno a lui, scrive poesie, va a fare passeggiate con il suo cane, si ferma in un bar e beve una birra. Poi va a casa dalla moglie Laura, il cui mondo è invece in continuo cambiamento, fatto di sogni e progetti diversi e ispirati. I due si amano: mentre Paterson sostiene le ambizioni di lei, Laura apprezza in segreto il suo talento per la poesia. Nel corso di una settimana, si osservano i loro trionfi e le loro sconfitte, così come quelle dell'intera cittadina di Paterson.

If Samuel Beckett had lived in Scotland and made a great film, it would be this: a lucid, sometimes funny, and profoundly compassionate study of extreme old age, death, grief and loneliness. These facts of life are revealed in an act of virtuoso film-making that is dedicated, laconic and ultimately - impossible as it may seem - uplifting. A unique experience, this is a very significant and totally original film that will test, and reward any audience. The challenge is to spend time with lonely old people and Dolak is unflinching. He handles words, sounds and image with extreme care. His film is composed of long takes that juxtapose a daily routine alongside the expansive and empty landscapes of the north east, and both shot in exquisitely beautiful monochrome. Everything seems settled and inevitable until the film makes a completely unexpected move into another realm and intimates a further reach of the imagination.
