Bonus Review: Materialists (2025)

After our main review for the weekend covering Mike Flanagan’s The Life of Chuck, we’re pairing that with a bonus review of Celine Song’s Materialists. The follow-up to Song's critically acclaimed and Oscar-nominated debut, Materialists follows a young, ambitious New York City matchmaker who finds herself torn between the perfect match and her imperfect ex. The film stars Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal, and Zoe Winters.
