Critics Consensus

A mature deconstruction of the conventional rom-com, Materialists provides its trio of swoon-worthy stars some of their meatiest material yet while reaffirming Celine Song as a modern master of relationship dramas.

Audience Says

Materialists takes it time unfolding a modern love story that’s more drama than the comedy it promises, yet a stellar cast keeps it relatable and engaging.

Esther Zuckerman

Bloomberg News

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.

Angelica Jade Bastién

New York Magazine/Vulture

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.

Stephen Romei

The Australian

This sharp contemporary take on material value versus love, respect and trust doesn’t mark Song as a filmmaker to watch – she already has ticked that box – but as one whose next film will be eagerly awaited.

Rated: 3.5/5

EscribiendoCine

[In Materialists, Celine Song] takes the foundations of a 2000s commercial romantic comedy, with its charismatic characters and witty dialogue, but infuses them with a sobriety and depth that elevates the plot. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 8/10

[Celine Song] offers a way to understand life as bounded by forces we cannot simply escape through agency and romantic willpower.

New York resident Celine Song wants to remind her viewers, via women who hold centre stage, that people and cities only make sense if you stay malleable and allow yourselves to experience them, with as much open-mindedness as your station in life allows.

A sharp examination of dating culture and the pursuit of what we think will bring us happiness. Both grounded and hopeful, a great film that feels very Celine Song.

Lol kes the movie but Pascal, a tiny, unattractive (to me) leading man with his Frito Bandito mustache doesn't do it for me. Miscast.

While there is no doubt this film treads heavily travelled ground, the performances were roundly good and it's worth a watch if you like romantic films. And is it just me or is Pedro Pascal in like every movie that has come out in the last couple of months?! LOL
