Materialists (15)

From Oscar-nominated director-screenwriter Celine Song comes a sharp, emotionally layered take on modern romance set in the high-stakes world of New York matchmaking. Dakota Johnson shines as Lucy Mason, a savvy matchmaker with nine marriages to her name—but when her ex, struggling actor John (played by Chris Evans), reappears, and she meets financier Harry Castillo (Pedro Pascal), Lucy finds herself torn between emotional truth and material allure.

As Lucy navigates this love triangle, the film critiques the commodification of dating culture, examining whether true connection can thrive in a transactional world. With standout support from Zoë Winters (Sophie), Marin Ireland (Violet), and Dasha Nekrasova (Daisy), Materialists blends bite‑sharp wit with heartfelt introspection.
