Recensioni in evidenza
1) I'll avoid spoilers, but essentially the messages sent by this movie to all the single people out there are depressing and incredibly shallow.
2) For a movie called "Materialists" that makes references to money consistently throughout, there was a shocking lack of eye candy in the film. Dinner scenes showed no food. Fancy homes were decorated by a beige monster. Not even travel porn.
3) I'm a fan of Dakota in general, but wow this is a stale performance. She's monotone and lacks any chemistry with the main characters. They interact as if she has a restraining order against them in real life but already signed up to do the movie together.
4) Everything. Is. So. Slow. The character's speak at a snail's pace. They also don't have conversations. Instead, they take turns reciting long monologues to each other. Scenes are drawn out in order to create drama and the soundtrack must just be a Pandora station called "Melodramatic Elevator Music." For a movie that centers around human connection, the main characters interacted like they were written by AI.
The marketing/pr for the film made it seem like this was going to be light, airy, and more of a rom-com. Sadly, that was not the case.
Verdict: Don't Watch.
The three principals are at the top of their game in this charming but layered film that doesn't quite fit the bill of an archetypal romantic comedy. A darker, more hard-hitting subplot adds some degree of unpredictability. A beguiling soundtrack adds a feeling of wonder. While there were moments when I wished the film could have been bolder, it still delivered and drove home the point about how extremely difficult the dating world in New York can be for men and women alike. You have the enormous pool of dating prospects, the mercurial expectations, a touch of unhappiness and the specter of hope in the distance. That's my way of saying I enjoyed this film very much. Gladly recommended.
These are 3 actors who have been doing this FOREVER and you can tell they were fighting for their lives to work with the combination of bad writing and bad directing.
I was hoping for a feel-good, light hearted movie, but I ended up bored and kind of frustrated by the sweeping generalizations of how dating works.
Don't spend the money to see it in theaters :(
The film is written and directed by Celine Song (Past Lives) and stars Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey), Chris Evans (Captain America), Pedro Pascal (Game of Thrones), Zoe Winters (Succession), and Marin Ireland (Homeland).
From the opening scene, it's clear the film is pushing a familiar message and the storyline is highly predictable-you'll likely see every plot turn coming. That said, it does offer some thoughtful reflections on successful men's outlook on dating, the difficulties older women encounter in dating, and the universal longing for companionship. It also explores how rigid expectations in relationships can sometimes become barriers to genuine happiness.
In conclusion, The Materialist presents some fun situations and sincere themes, but ultimately feels a bit contrived. I'd give it a 6.5/10 and recommend it only with the appropriate expectations.

Lo sapevi?
- QuizWriter/director Celine Song's name is listed as the playwright for John's play on a poster outside the theater, because the play is actually a real one she wrote back in 2016.
- Citazioni
Lucy: Patricia, I know that every year you go without having a husband raises your expectations for him exponentially. But that doesn't mean that you're due to get one. And it doesn't mean that you can customize, because this is not a simulation. If the service I was providing you was building you a man, then of course I can build you a man with everything on this list. But I can't, because this is not a car or a house. We're talking about people. People are people are people are people. They come as they are. And all I can hope to find for you is a man that you can tolerate for the next fifty years, who likes you at all. And you are not a 'catch', because you are not a fish.
