Materialists Reviews
Song now offers a more practical, almost hangover-like, look at how the human need to connect has transformed into a personalized luxury item. [Full review in Spanish]
For those hoping to see a free-wheeling rom-com akin to How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days or You've Got Mail, you might leave the cinema unsatisfied. I know a few people who did. But to me, Materialists is perfection.
For better and sometimes worse this is every bit a Celine Song movie. Unlike James L. Brooks or James Ivory, the writer-director isn’t ultimately committed to finding the humanity in characters who don’t fit her conception of good people.
The film doesn’t have a strong enough foundation to shoulder this shift and Johnson can’t quite take the character where she needs to go. To be fair, the script isn’t giving her enough to work with.
Celine Song once again explores the intricacies of the human heart with candor and clarity.
This movie feels like a scathing, almost satirical critique of modern dating trends while simultaneously being a sweet romance film with a lot of heart.
I miss romantic comedies. This is a little more than that. I think it was meant to be an intense breakdown of the rom-com, but it doesn’t really come off that way....There is depth in this movie and a lot of it is hidden.
Puts a magnifying glass to uncomfortable realities, like the high and precise standards that make people carry a certain type of price tag on their backs. [Full review in Spanish]
It confirms —though it shouldn’t need to— the director and writer’s talent for crafting precise dialogue, well-rounded and complex characters, and stories with a connection to reality that is as lucid as it is devastating.
Selene Song’s follow up to Past Lives is an interesting If/Then scenario where one person has two choices and neither is simple. In 2025, I wonder how many people would make the same choice at the end of this film.
The movie asks you to care about them for real failures and real flaws, which makes Song’s belief in love more, rather than less, sweeping.
Why does no one in this film have agency to find value in themselves without validation from someone else? Frankly, it’s weird to see the regression of the idea that marriage is the only thing that matters in a person’s life.
The opposite of a feel-good, rom com or romantic drama. Right from the start, the film signals true love is an illusion and is more of a business transaction. Materialists is seriously deficient in heart or charm.
Do we choose for love or for money? Where does love come from? And how do we give away our hearts? That's the unanswered question Song leaves us with (...) [Full Review in Spanish]
Like an appalling first date, this movie smugly declares itself smart and funny and then delivers all evidence to the contrary.
The first half is a sharp, smart movie that deconstructs love in the modern world. The second half leans into the romantic side.
Materialists is rickety stuff, buckling from beginning to end beneath its maker’s weighty aspirations.
Filmmaker Celine Song dons a metaphorical technician’s coat, does a chemistry test on three gorgeous movie stars—Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal—and then waits for the lab results. Sad to say, the romcom fizz didn’t make it.
An extremely confident picture, and it showcases one performance that absolutely should be in the running for Best of ’25 honors.
It wants to be sharp, modern, and emotionally insightful, but it winds up being a beautifully shot shrug.
