Materialists review

Academy Award-nominee Celine Song returns with sophomore film Materialists, starring Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans. Songs’ follow-up to acclaimed debut Past Lives follows a young, ambitious New York City matchmaker who finds herself torn between the perfect guy and her imperfect ex. Leigh and Tim break down this non-traditional rom-com to understand its message, characters and if love really is just a box-ticking exercise, or something far more primitive than we realise.
