First Glance: “Materialists”

by

In a fresh rephrasing: Celine Song’s 2023 directorial debut, “Past Lives”, was one of the most remarkable in recent years, receiving nominations for Best Picture and Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards. Since then, everyone has been eagerly waiting to see what she would do next. Now, our curiosity is piqued with the unveiling of the first trailer for “Materialists”, a romantic drama featuring three prominent actors.

In a movie that appears to follow a conventional romantic narrative, Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans take on the lead roles. Johnson portrays Lucy, a proficient matchmaker who unexpectedly finds herself caught between two men: Randy (Pascal), a charming millionaire, and John (Evans), an old friend re-entering her life with whom she shares a rich past. Although the plot might seem familiar, the director Song’s cinematic style promises something fresh and intriguing. Johnson and Pascal are captivating actors to watch, while Evans’ performance remains to be seen.

As a cinephile, I’m excited to announce that “Materialists” will hit the big screen on June 13th! Here’s a sneak peek at the trailer – take a look and decide if this film is worth your ticket. For me, it looks intriguing enough to grab my attention, but everyone has their unique taste in movies. Let me know what you think and whether you plan to catch “Materialists” or give it a miss!
