15A116 min

Celine Song (Past Lives) puts complicated love dynamics under the microscope again with her new feature, Materialists. A young, ambitious New York City matchmaker (Dakota Johnson) finds herself torn between the perfect match (the internet’s boyfriend Pedro Pascal) and her imperfect ex (Chris “Captain America” Evans). This is no ordinary rom-com, in the hands of Song the story becomes altogether more subtle and nuanced, exploring the tensions between romance and reality in today’s modern world.
