This is a movie
about daily life for a bus driver in Paterson, NJ. And you know how exciting
New Jersey is. The most action we get is his bus breaks down. I was waiting for
his bus to get hijacked. But his life is too mundane for that. Their dog is
cute, but I don't like to give in to animals. Even if Nellie won the Palm Dog
posthumously for acting in drag. It's
cheap. Adam Driver plays Kylo Ren, essentially. His acting is flat and
monotone, maybe a little less angsty. And he writes poetry, some of which is
insufferable. His poem about the matches literally put me to sleep. He and his
wife are perfectly content and their marital bliss is almost too perfect. The
wife has her hobbies and the husband indulges her. It feels like manufactured
happiness. It is a slow movie that I
didn't particularly care for.
