MaterialistsArjun5.1· July 1, 2025FollowI am pretty torn on Materialists. Just from my failed experiences trying to start something I found some of the dating stuff very real and funny, but also made me really mad. But not a negative mad, I think the film wanted me mad. I can’t tell if the film is supposed to be happy or sad or if it isn’t supposed to be either. In that way it’s really beautiful and frustrating. I keep going back and forth and my feeling towards Dakota Johnson’s character keep making me go back and forth. I will say Pedro’s character made me feel very hopeless. He’s like a wishful version of me and what he said about feeling stupid about finding love was something that really struck me. At least I didn’t need surgery to be 6 foot I guess. At the end of the day this film evoked a lot of emotion out of me. I usually avoid romance movies cuz they make me sad and mad like this, Because the portrayal of Chris Evan’s character really made me mad too. His only flaw is that he’s broke, he’s not a problem in anything except he has no money. In that way he didn’t feel like a real person, Pedro’s character felt more real. So choosing to more fake person to be really is what made me mad. IdkCommentsSign in to react and join the conversation.Sign inGet the app
