Materialists

Genuinely blown away by how good this turned out to be. It’s been hard to come across originality as of late in the movies but this delivers a fresh look and a feel good rom com that has a lot to say about dating and love in this modern age. Everyone’s not looking for someone to check all their boxes and meet their needs financially because it’s not very realistic in some cases. This movie also says something on how these materialistic things (no pun intended) do make us look inwards and look at how valuable we think we are. This is one of the most emotionally intelligent movies that i’ve seen in a while and easily the best written movie of the year so far. Every aspect of it is superb, the acting is great and I would even go to say that Dakota Johnson is GOOD in it. Pedro Pascal is great as well, but Chris Evans absolutely steals the movie. He is just so down to earth relatable and I think as more people see this film, the more people would appreciate him in this role. In contrast to Pedro’s character, Harry; Evans’ Jon is the less than ideal candidate to marry but this movie represents that love doesn’t have a price tag. Love doesn’t have any boxes to check, Love is unconditional and unique to everyone in how they find it. Love is something you CAN find anywhere and is more accessible than the materialistic things.
