MATERIALISTS: A Modern Love Story for the Age of Ambition

If you’re in the mood for a smart, stylish film that blends romance, wit, and emotional depth, MATERIALISTS deserves a place on your Christmas watchlist.

Modern life — and love — has never been more complicated, shaped as much by social media and status as by genuine connection. Enter Lucy Mason (Dakota Johnson), a sharp, successful New York matchmaker who believes she has love all figured out. But when she finds herself caught between her dazzling new “unicorn” suitor (Pedro Pascal) and her flawed yet unforgettable ex (Chris Evans), Lucy is forced to ask: what happens when love becomes transactional?

From Celine Song, the visionary director behind Past Lives, comes another emotional and visually stunning exploration of modern relationships. MATERIALISTS is both biting and tender — a film that playfully examines the absurdity of trying to quantify romance in a world obsessed with perfection.

Johnson is captivating as Lucy, torn between desire and authenticity, while Pascal and Evans bring irresistible charisma and chemistry to their roles. Together, they form the perfect triangle of heart, humour, and heartbreak.

Backed by an acclaimed creative team, MATERIALISTS is written and directed by Celine Song, produced by David Hinojosa, Pamela Koffler, Christine Vachon, and Song herself. It’s a film that will resonate with anyone who’s ever wondered whether love can truly be measured — or if the heart simply refuses to play by the rules.
