- rg94007 dage sidenThe Materialists feels like a much more conceptual movie than Celine Song's debut, Past Lives. I think it was marketed like a romcom, but I would not classify it as such. There are some moments of humor, but they almost feel out of place when they occur (thinking of a recurring gag about legs). Instead, I think Celine Song wants to dissect what makes love ticks and uses Dakota Johnson's matchmaker Lucy as a way to reflect both the cynical and the idealistic visions about what it can be. The movie has elicited a ton of Discourse, but make no mistake, Song remains a phenomenal talent. The shots are gorgeous, perfectly lit, and captured in elegant beauty. It's been a while since I've seen a movie where the blocking feels so intentional and thought out. Even the characters walking styles feel deliberate and purposeful. I think a lot of people wanted this movie to feel more character-driven, and I agree that the relationship between Chris Evans' and Pedro Pascal's characters is not exactly that organic. However, I think Song is really focused on Lucy and her worldview, and in that regard, those two characters play the exact role she needed. This movie is not about a sweeping romance that will leave people in tears or even a slow-burn yearning like her prior movie. Instead, Song wants to see if love can be mathematically determined and the role material wealth (hence the name) plays a role in it. It's honestly a very fascinating examination, and even though the movie felt very different than what I was initially expecting, I was enthralled with it. I do wish we got a bit more with Pedro Pascal, which could have made things feel a bit more sincere and maybe curbed some of the dumb controversies surrounding it. Regardless, I think this movie feels authentic in a different way, in a way that feels less about the characters themselves but the very nature of dating and love. It's an earnest and lovely second feature from a director who is proving to be a talented tour de force and someone who is unafraid to challenge genre norms.
- Devin Ford27. april 2026Legitimately one of the worst movies I've ever seen. All of the acting was extremely wooden and all the characters were genuinely vain and horrible people. I don't know the first thing about being in a serious relationship, but if finding love means becoming like the characters in this film, then I am fine being on my own. This movie seriously make me hate myself and even the remote possibility of finding love.
- Joel12. juni 2025Maybe a career best performance for Chris Evans, but man this screen play thinks it’s so much smarter than it is. A few moments literally made me roll my eyes. There’s good moments in here. Pedro’s charming as ever, the main score that plays throughout this is beautiful, and it feels so close to being something special. Ultimately it ends up being closer to the notebook (which I hate) than being anything really great.
- MrTrivet10. februar 2026Materialists is a romcom that attempts an honest look at dating in the age of comparison, checklists, and constant self-optimization. Its starting point is love as a process that increasingly resembles a transaction, where emotions must compete with social, financial, and aesthetic capital. The film puts this kind of calculation under scrutiny, but instead of contempt it opts for a measured romanticism - not naive, but cautious. Although the narrative is told mainly from a female perspective, it is surprisingly empathetic toward men who feel lost in today’s relationship marketplace. Their insecurities, related to appearance, height, or economic status, are not mocked, but presented as real barriers in a world that rewards the “right” parameters. The film also takes a clear-eyed approach to money: not as the enemy of love, but as its boundary condition. Material comfort often proves more important than emotional authenticity, and Materialists does not condemn this attitude, instead relativizing the characters’ choices. Much of the film’s appeal comes from the sheer likability of its main cast. Dakota Johnson’s character, in particular, stands out: outwardly cold, blunt, and emotionally guarded, yet surprisingly grounded and human. Beneath the sharp edges, she feels like a comfort character - someone whose pragmatism reads less as cynicism and more as a learned success and hapiness strategy. It’s a likable, bittersweet piece of cinema.
- Tyler Campbell18. januar 2026I can't help but think this movie suffers from expectations created by how it was promoted. The 3 leads being jovial and playful in interviews and such, suggesting a romcom. Admittedly, as a 36 year old man, I did not look into this movie beyond whatever snippets of the promotion snuck into Hot Ones or something my wife was looking at, so I could be off base with that. But Materialists is not a romcom, it's a romdram. Sure, there's a little bit of comedic levity, but it's mostly slow and tonally weird, with some sudden darkness that really threw me for a loop. Thematically, it's a decent criticism of things like materialism, shallow dating, and how society judges people. For what it actually is and who it's actually for, Materialists might be better than the rating I gave it. But expecting a romcom and getting characters talking a lot about their dating value or lackthereof and trying to talk each other into or out of being with one another wasn't particularly entertaining to me. If they dove off the deep end into the dark branch of the story, they may have been able to do an effective subversion of expectations and made it very impactful, now that I think about it. Instead, it was just a low stakes relationship drama. If you're into that, Materialists might be for you.
