Critics Consensus

A mature deconstruction of the conventional rom-com, Materialists provides its trio of swoon-worthy stars some of their meatiest material yet while reaffirming Celine Song as a modern master of relationship dramas.

Audience Says

Materialists takes it time unfolding a modern love story that’s more drama than the comedy it promises, yet a stellar cast keeps it relatable and engaging.

So often we’re asked to look down upon characters who crave wealth. Materialists is merely being realistic: It’s something we all think about.

Lucy and the film, fail to fully invest in its richest potential line of inquiry — the ways in which capitalism distorts modern romance — and pivots to a more conventional romantic narrative of the kind it had promised to upend, if not outright critique.

The Australian

This sharp contemporary take on material value versus love, respect and trust doesn’t mark Song as a filmmaker to watch – she already has ticked that box – but as one whose next film will be eagerly awaited.

Rated: 3.5/5

MacGuffin or Meaning (Substack)

...at the heart of every romantic movie, and every real-life romantic partnership, is a choice. A choice between pragmatism and emotion. Materialists is just willing to examine the validity of both options in a way that other movies are hesitant to do.

Rated: 4.5/5

Orion's Shoulder (Substack)

While Materialists is beautifully lensed by returning cinematographer Shabier Kirchner, there’s an empty sheen to a disappointingly sterile and perplexingly shallow sophomore offering.

Rom-coms are predictable, and MATERIALISTS, in that way, is predictable. But instead of feeling like I need to be angry or sad with the characters, watching MATERIALISTS feels like warmed butter in every pleasurable sense.

Rated: 4/5

Pretty unbelievable but entertaining. Really enjoyed the dialogue though—interesting thoughts about love and dating.

It felt like a 2000s rom com brought back to life with artistic flair from the “Past Lives” director. Great film

A very interesting movie, Pedro pascal, Chris Evan’s and Dakota Johnson are placed in this movie and told to make something work. Well, they did. It’s definitely lacking some substance and it’s the plot of every romance movie out there but still a solid one. The first and last scene make you wonder if you’re even at the right movie showing. Unnecessary from my point of view. If romance is your thing, worth watching, if it isn’t, than it’s still good enough to just go and enjoy.

I loved the realistic way it depicted dating. The ending was unrealistic to me but that’s why it’s a movie! Lol
