Materialists

Man I was a little scared about this movie as Celine Song’s second movie but it was very good! Both of her movies have come out at the right time for me, teaching different lessons about love and yearning. These movies should be mandatory for anyone who wants to have a relationship not even joking. The way Celine can depict realistic and human relationships in these movies is phenomenal. The characters are well written, and there’s never a villain to hate or dislike, just human characters trying to get what they want and realizing what they need. Characters say things that most movies try to glamorize, but here it’s genuine and honest and vulnerable. The movie also looks incredible with some amazing wider shots as well as AMAZING silences that say so much between characters. I already want to see it again. Phenomenal movie. Many of the critiques this movie might get are from the people who thirst over Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans and go on their phone during the movie. There are some awkward lines but overall, this movie is phenomenal and even more than that, it says something useful and important in today’s culture. Go watch it!
