I would enjoy watching Paterson and Laura watching and reacting to Island of Lost Souls for the entirety of its runtime.
This movie makes me want to buy and neglect a new Moleskin notebook.

There is an intimacy and vulnerability in this grounded portrayal of the everyday poet and his unremarkable existence.
