If Paterson hit the spot, these will too

Contemplative and witty in the same breath

The same mix in both: play, then romance


Both lean on stillness more than on comedy

Romance with a pulse of wit, in both cases

Drama built on play, twice over

Romantic comedy, and it commits to that
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Tender romance, and it commits to that

Both lean on stillness more than on drama

Comedy with a pulse of wit, in both cases

Romance with a pulse of play, in both cases

In the mood for more contemplative?
