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.

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

A really smart, well-written, well-played, slightly bittersweet rom com.

Independent (UK)

It’s a film that works beautifully as an intellectual exercise. Ironically, it’s in the love stuff where it starts to falter.

Rated: 3/5

Little White Lies

Materialists, shot on gorgeous 35mm, does manage to capture something of the sheer inexplicable miracle of romance in a world that wants us to view each other as disposable.

The List

The film can be effervescently entertaining and its interrogatory nature is to be applauded. Frequently provocative and pretty funny, it’s a welcome injection of intelligence in a genre which has for too long been fixated on formula.

Rated: 3/5

Perhaps the fairest way to see Materialists is as a transitional work. Song isn’t repeating herself, which is admirable; she’s instead simply trying to map the economics of intimacy in a way few filmmakers have dared.

Rated: 2.5/5

Materialists is a stylish and thought-provoking examination of modern dating and society’s obsession with trying to commodify everything – except love. It also serves as proof we should stop forcing romance films to fit within a rigidly narrow definition.

Rated: 4/5

Slow plotline. The lingering kisses used up too much of the plot. Some funny charichatures. As a 60 year old, very little of this storyline was to me at all innovative or new.

A sharp examination of dating culture and the pursuit of what we think will bring us happiness. Both grounded and hopeful, a great film that feels very Celine Song.

Lol kes the movie but Pascal, a tiny, unattractive (to me) leading man with his Frito Bandito mustache doesn't do it for me. Miscast.

While there is no doubt this film treads heavily travelled ground, the performances were roundly good and it's worth a watch if you like romantic films. And is it just me or is Pedro Pascal in like every movie that has come out in the last couple of months?! LOL
