About Materialists
Materialists is a romantic comedy-drama about Lucy (Dakota Johnson), a New York City matchmaker who finds herself torn between two men: a wealthy and polished financier named Harry (Pedro Pascal) and her charming but struggling actor ex-boyfriend, John (Chris Evans). As Lucy navigates this love triangle, the film explores themes of love, identity, and the emotional numbness that can arise from relationships curated to "check all the boxes" in a world of digital profiles and commodified love.
The film is noted for its thoughtful critique of modern dating and its focus on character rather than traditional romance.
