Materialists is the second film by acclaimed director Celine Song, who debuted with the melancholic Past Lives. Once again, love is at the center of this film, but in a very different way. The story follows Lucy (Dakota Johnson), a matchmaker at a profitable New York agency, who views dating, love, and marriage as a science, something that can be calculated. Her beliefs are challenged when she meets Harry (Pedro Pascal), who seems to be the wealthy match of her dreams, while she reconnects with her ex, John (Chris Evans), an actor who is financially struggling. Song examines love from its pragmatic, utilitarian side, in a story that feels colder than her previous feature, due to its nature and less developed male characters. However, it remains a great film that explores the complex facets of love and human relationships. Read more in our full review of Materialists.
