📣Awakenings: Two artists in love struggle to find their place in New Jersey's greatest city.

👍Plenty of matches:
It's a film that shows you the best of people in the quietest of corners.
Delightful and delicately told, it unfolds effortlessly and evocatively; and swells into a crescendo before you've realised how it caught you.
(And if you like poetry, people, bull dogs and buses, this film will not disappoint.)

👎Plenty of sprouts:
It's not a fast-paced film, and the story's silent agency may be too subtle for some.
(And not everyone will be thrilled with Laura's two-tone interior decorating.)

📽️Favourite scene:
Marie (Chasten Harmon) and Everett's (William Jackson Harper) final argument in Doc's bar. There's no point imploding, unless you're REALLY imploding...

🥇Best quote:
"I take a chance and stare at you,
Amazed in love and afraid
That you might open your eyes
and have the daylights scared out of you."

🙁Best depressing quote:
"If you ever left me,
I'd tear my heart out
And never put it back."

⏳Best lockdown quote:
PATERSON: "Is there anything we can do?"
DOC: "Nah, I always say don't try to change things, or you'll make them even worse."
