The perfect matchmaker. But who’s her perfect match?
The buzz is building for Celine Song’s romantic drama Materialists, which also happens to be a forthcoming release from A24. With its rom-com vibes and a principal cast that includes Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal, it’s becoming a must-watch for audiences! A new trailer has just arrived, which gives audiences a deeper look into what we can expect from it.
A young, ambitious New York City matchmaker (Dakota Johnson) finds herself torn between the perfect match (Pedro Pascal) and her imperfect ex (Chris Evans).
Drawing from her own past as a matchmaker, Song has crafted a film that examines ideas of connection and romance, and looks into just why, for many of us, love is now just a numbers game, rather than actually one of emotions. Her back-and-forth drama with Johnson’s Lucy, who is caught in a love triangle between John (Evans) and Harry (Pascal), will definitely keep audiences guessing, and it’s clear that Song is asking audiences to examine their own relationship to romance with this release.
Adding to buzz of it, and building off of the film’s recent trailers, is the nostalgic rom-com vibes of the early-2000s that Materialists is aligning itself with, especially in its most recent trailer, and for audiences who have felt starved of the rom-com bug for some time, this makes it that much more of an exciting release. The film also happens to be beautifully shot by cinematographer Shabier Kirchner, and it’s all making for a very special cinematic experience for audiences.
