Moviegoers are saying
Director Celine Song's ambitious romantic drama has divided audiences with its deliberate subversion of rom-com expectations, transforming what appears to be a typical love triangle into a sobering meditation on modern dating's brutal realities. While Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans deliver compelling performances in this Dakota Johnson-led exploration of authentic connection, viewers are split between those who appreciate its thought-provoking depth and those frustrated by its glacial pacing and pretentious tone.

broke men propaganda needs to be stopped update: Celine Song can say all she wants about this review being a classist way for capitalism to colonize love, but she still hired a zionist MAGA (Dasha Nekrasova) to star in this movie. What a hypocrite money hungry director who…

Kellen GallagherJun 9, 2025The biggest catfish of the year, Celine Song uses romcom frills and conventions for initial appearances only to reveal a somber and honest dissection of modern dating, the terrifying unpredictability of authentic connection, and the fear we all have of being deemed…

i thought i had walked into the wrong theater during the first five minutes
Mallory dislikedMaterialistsi was so hyped. it was bad. way too slow paced, she ends up with the WRONG man neither men were right for her she was annoying asf 1/10
Bess dislikedMaterialistsGenuinely what was this. The dialogue was repetitive and it made no sense. We just kept circling around to the same topics with no resolution. Every time I thought it was ending it would inch forward again. And making Pedro squat down like that and then ZOOMING OUT was a crime.

I hope people will look back at this movie after 5-10 years and consider it a classic. Such a beautiful story about love and dating and marriage. Dakota, Chris, and Pedro were all so charming. I could ramble on about the dialogue and scenes and how it all connects with their characters but I’ll…
Jayjay is "meh" onMaterialistsno yea like i understand but it felt like they had a strong idea on the movie but didn’t go any deeper and just started filming yk? and the main conflict with the her client wasn’t even fully fleshed out it almost felt just pushed aside. pedro wasn’t even hit for some reason
Landon Kenner is "meh" onMaterialistsQuite cliche, predictable and lacks the feeling of actual chemistry. I think the side story involving Sophie was done well into highlighting the dangers of dating, but Dakota Johnson’s dialogue in moments with Chris Evans felt forced and, again, cliche towards the end. 6/10

In past lives Celine strong got the idea of long lost love right. In materials she fell flat. The first half was wonderful. Dakota was wonderful. But nothing/no one else really fit. There were many layers and some were good, but as a whole it just wasn’t there.
Jessie Short likedMaterialistsI expected more rom com vibes… it’s a weird mix. The pacing isn’t quite as slow as past lives, but I still found myself wanting it to get to the point. Oddly Pedro actually feels like poor casting… he’s wasted a bit on this script.
Victor K likedMaterialistsThis starts the dialogue on something vital in our current dating culture in an earnest dialectical way without feeling dialectical. The earnestness feels really reflected in its cinematography. Dialogue strikes a good balance between being naturalistic and falling into whatever…

I bought my tickets in advance and this was a HUGE disappointment. Took my partner to see it and was not impressed. Not worth it to see in the theaters. Also kinda depressing and a sad look on life and love.
ACAndre ClarkeThis movie was made worse by the fact AMC DeKalb refused to turn ON either the AC or the ceiling fans. Deplorable
BBBetyna Bericenot your typical romantic comedy, but it does pose a lot of questions around modern dating. at times it feels like a horror film and at others very sweet.
- JAJoselyn Arriaga
Marketing really failed on this one. The overall theme kept getting lost, as if each time I sensed I understood the message it was completely wiped and reinvented. It had so many good parts but more bad parts to go along with it. The writing was mid.
RTRay TilleyA sweet, simple story that nonetheless plumbs the substance and mystery of relationships, while offering “easter eggs” and echoes for the movie buff.
JVJazzalyn VelezPedro 10/10 always but what the heck was the storyline…
- ACAnnie Chen
I felt like the movie was really thought-provoking and also subversive. Beautifully shot and very quotable, I look forward to having more long conversations about modern dating jumping off of themes in this movie. The dialogue didn’t really feel specific enough for real…
AFabbygail fenelonBad marketing. Unrealistic. Boring. Lied to.

Materialists falters most when it tries to mesh its competing aims: to deliver a throwback love story while also deconstructing the reality of modern dating. Instead, in the end, the film resembles the very world it tries to critique, offering a litany of observations about finding The One without ever substantially arguing for any of them.

Materialists is dry and ironic and “honest” while laying bare the hopes that we all cling to that love isn’t really as materialistic as she’s saying. But the rare air of the artificial, archetypal world she sets out to make her big statement in leaves the viewer grasping for not just a breath of fresh air, but hope.

Inconsistent but never insubstantial, Materialists is far from perfect, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worthy of a date.
