  Words cannot describe how perfect the timing of this film is. Two hours of my life I can only say “thank you” for. This film serves as a reminder that there is great value in life. There’s a lot to appreciate and there’s so much admirable beauty in everyday life.

  “next time is next time. now is now.” 

  Perfect Days is a deep meditation on both the appreciation and vulnerability of life that finds the beauty within its small and authentic moments from your “monotonous” life.

  though titled Perfect Days, no day will be necessarily “perfect” as the perfect day doesn’t truly exist. it is only acceptance of this inevitability that is necessarily to embrace life as it comes.

  it moved me to tears. remembering the normal, enjoying simple pleasures, finding beauty in time spent in good habits. every second counts. joy in the shadows, in the reflections, in your favourite songs and the sunrise, the occasional connections with strangers you don't know and will never meet. thank you Wim Wenders.

  “shadows, do they get darker when they overlap? … there are still so many things i don’t know. that’s how life is, i guess.”

  Review by Karsten ★★★★½

  didn’t know a ton about this going into it, especially the similarities to paterson. watching a guy read books, listen to music, and work on toilets shouldn’t be this riveting, but it is. and that’s the kind of stuff i can’t get enough of because when you get it right, it’s so easy to get lost in the work. love the commitment to the dream montage, one of the better depictions of dreaming i’ve seen and they never forget to throw it in there, even if it’s at an inconvenient time. love how some of the dreams are more vivid than others, very neat. this also nails what it feels like to be barely getting by under your fine-tuned routine, only…

  Review by coffee ★★★★

  wake up, make your bed, water your plants, shave, freshen up, get dressed, drink coffee, load a cassette tape, drive to work, deal with your annoying zoomer coworker, go home, grab your bike, take a bath, get some dinner, come home, read, struggle to figure out how to read with your damn shadows covering the pages, sleep. wake up, repeat again. routine as the key to harmony, it’s not the monotony of working and waking that makes it all remarkable, it’s the peace that comes as a result. not every day is perfect, sometimes your coworker quits, sometimes you have to relive events of your life you’d rather forget, sometimes your niece shows up on your doorstep wanting to be anywhere but home. but it’s okay. the sadness will eventually pass. the perfect days will come again soon
