Paterson is a bus driver in the eponymous city of Paterson, New Jersey. Every day he drives his route, observing the city as it drifts across his windshield. He writes his poetry, walks his dog, stops in a bar for his daily beer, then goes home to Laura. Jarmusch quietly observes the triumphs and defeats of daily life, along with the poetry of its smallest details. “His latest film takes its good, sweet time working its way into your mind and heart. But when it does, you're a goner.” - Rolling Stone.

Lucy works at a high-end matchmaking company trying to pair up moneyed entrepreneurs with elite bachelors and bachelorettes. When she meets Harry at the wedding of two of her successfully paired clients, she immediately knows that this ‘unicorn’ would be a perfect catch for a lot of her customers. But Harry is more interested in Lucy. And then her ex suddenly shows up… As we could expect from the director of Past Lives, Materialists is not exactly a romantic comedy about a matchmaker torn between two suitors, but rather a lucid examination of the contradictions of love and dating.
