"Celine Song's Materialists explores love versus money through Lucy, a materialist matchmaker, who must choose between a wealthy banker and her devoted ex-boyfriend."
"The film critiques modern dating by portraying characters who evaluate potential partners based on financial standing and societal value rather than emotional connection."
Materialists, directed by Celine Song, examines the dichotomy of love versus money through its protagonist Lucy, a high-end matchmaker played by Dakota Johnson. Lucy is caught between the allure of a wealthy banker, Harry, and her devoted ex-boyfriend, John. The film portrays a satirical view of contemporary dating where emotional warmth is overshadowed by materialistic values. Characters interact with a transactional coldness, reflecting a society where relationships are assessed based on financial status and societal worth rather than genuine affection.
