Everyone will be thrilled when the long-awaited summer romantic comedy hits cinemas, thanks to Materialists. Director Celine Song returns with her second film, Materialists, two years after her highly acclaimed film Past Lives broke everyone’s hearts. I’m already ready to give it my whole personality.
Song is still the maestro of romance, as seen by the first teaser for Materialists. Song is renowned for making romantic, dreamy movies that delve into the inner workings of relationships and what it means to be genuinely in love. You already know we’re in for a treat because the new movie, which stars Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal, and Dakota Johnson, takes place in the fast-paced city of New York.

What is materialism about?
Materialists centers on Lucy (Dakota Johnson), a driven matchmaker in New York City who has arranged many fruitful partnerships. Lucy meets Randy (Pedro Pascal), a rich suitor who is at the wedding of a couple she matched, while she’s there.
Since her ex-boyfriend John (played by Chris Evans) is working the same wedding that night, Lucy’s past comes back to haunt her as she starts to get to know Randy. In the end, Lucy had to choose between rekindling her romance with a former sweetheart and starting a developing relationship with Randy.
