Materialists Ratings & Reviews
The Travers Take
Peter Travers
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.
NPR
Aisha Harris
Beneath the movie's shagginess is a spark of challenging ideas and the legible potential for a sharper film, if only the filmmaker could connect the dots without falling back on retrograde tropes.
Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)
Mark Kermode
A really smart, well-written, well-played, slightly bittersweet rom com.
Bloomberg News
Esther Zuckerman
So often we're asked to look down upon characters who crave wealth. Materialists is merely being realistic: It's something we all think about.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Angelica Jade Bastién
Lucy and the film, fail to fully invest in its richest potential line of inquiry - the ways in which capitalism distorts modern romance - and pivots to a more conventional romantic narrative of the kind it had promised to upend, if not outright critique.
The New Republic
Phoebe Chen
For all Song's efforts to interrogate the frank materialism of contemporary dating, the film's ideas feel somehow anachronistic, as if they've been caught in a buffering delay.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Materialists is more bittersweet than sweet-which is what makes it so wonderful, in a wistful, elusive way.
The Atlantic
Shirley Li
The film's glossy veneer of confidence, much like that of its lead, belies an uncertainty. Apart from some punchy dialogue probing the economy of marriage, its tale is shallow, with almost nonexistent stakes.
Chicago Reader
Maxwell Rabb
Song lays bare the tricky parts of love, holding the messiness accountable without overplaying the drama. Instead of sweet escapism, it pulls us into the gray areas of desire, power, and performance.
Salon.com
Coleman Spilde
Song resists the urge to follow any formula herself, forging questions about love and romance that can't all be answered by the time the credits roll and the lights go up.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
It's tempting to say that Song went a more traditional route, but her second film is in fact a bold reshaping of the romcom.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
Despite good acting across the board, I never bought it.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The issues it wants to address are deep; the way they are addressed is thin. More than once characters talk about feeling valued or worthless. What makes people feel valued by themselves or others, is tantalizingly raised, but frustratingly sketched.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
Decidedly a film from the writer/director of "Past Lives," another thoughtful film about a love triangle and the way that our pasts haunt our futures.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
[Song's] sophomore effort embraces a lighthearted rom-com template and then plays its material inaptly seriously-making it the cinematic equivalent of a sugary soda gone terribly flat.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Materialists may not quite gel, and its pieces do not all fit together comfortably, but I still find that I can't stop thinking about it and treasuring so many of the story's idiosyncratic wonders.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Materialists" does land itself in a bit of a pickle when it comes to traditional storytelling resolution, but everywhere else it is an elevation on the form, with sparkling performances by each of its three stars.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
This triangle of invention in text, image, and performance lifts "Materialists" to a high level of aesthetic delight -- for about half the movie. Then, the film falls with a thud, never to rise again.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Jane Austen it's not, but it gets at the consequences of modern romance among the moneyed classes, where self-worth is bound up in one's market value.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Though "Materialists" nods at a few rom-com conventions, it's ultimately a gentle exploration of what we think we want from love, and how those things can change when the right person arrives.
