Jarmusch is credited with having instigated the American independent film movement with ''Stranger Than Paradise''.<ref name=morned/> In her description of the film in a 2005 profile of the director for ''[[The New York Times]]'', critic Lynn Hirschberg declared that ''Stranger than Paradise'' "permanently upended the idea of independent film as an intrinsically inaccessible avant-garde form".<ref name=last/> The success of the film accorded the director a certain iconic status within [[arthouse cinema]], as an idiosyncratic and uncompromising [[auteur]], exuding the aura of urban cool embodied by [[downtown Manhattan]].<ref name=indians/><ref name=rosenbaum/> Such perceptions were reinforced by the release of his subsequent features in the late 1980s, establishing him as one of the generation's most prominent and influential independent filmmakers.<ref name=blair/><ref name=slpd/>

New York critic and festival director Kent Jones undermined the "urban cool" association that Jarmusch has garnered and was quoted in a February 2014 media article, following the release of his eleventh feature film:

<blockquote>There's been an overemphasis on the hipness factor—and a lack of emphasis on his incredible attachment to the idea of celebrating poetry and culture. You can complain about the preciousness of a lot of his movies, [but] they are unapologetically standing up for poetry. [His attitude is] 'if you want to call me an elitist, go ahead, I don't care'.<ref name="Jon">{{cite news|title=Jim Jarmusch: how the film world's maverick stayed true to his roots|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2014/feb/22/jim-jarmusch-only-lovers-left-alive|access-date=May 16, 2014|newspaper=The Guardian|date=February 22, 2014|author=Jonathan Romney}}</ref></blockquote>

Jarmusch's staunch independence has been represented by his success in retaining the negatives for all of his films, an achievement that was described by the ''Guardian'''s Jonathan Romney as "extremely rare." British producer [[Jeremy Thomas]], who was one of the eventual financiers of ''Only Lovers Left Alive'' called Jarmusch "one of the great American independent film-makers" who is "the last of the line." Thomas believes that filmmakers like Jarmusch "are not coming through... any more."<ref name="Jon"/>

In a 1989 review of his work, [[Vincent Canby]] of ''The New York Times'' called Jarmusch "the most adventurous and arresting film maker to surface in the American cinema in this decade".<ref name=canby/> He was recognized with the "Filmmaker on the Edge" award at the 2004 [[Provincetown International Film Festival]].<ref name=provincetown/> A retrospective of the director's films was hosted at the [[Walker Art Center]] in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during February 1994, and another, "The Sad and Beautiful World of Jim Jarmusch", by the [[American Film Institute]] in August 2005.<ref name=afi/><ref name=king/>

While Swinton, who has worked with Jarmusch on numerous occasions, describes him as a "rock star", the director admits that "I don't know where I fit in. I don't feel tied to my time." Dutch lute player Jozef van Wissem, who worked on the score for ''Only Lovers Left Alive'' calls Jarmusch a "cultural sponge" who "absorbs everything."<ref name="Jon"/>
