- The film Materialists, written and directed by Celine Song, opened in theaters on June 13, 2025, starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal in New York City.
- Materialists follows Lucy, a ritzy New York matchmaker torn between her ex-boyfriend John and a new suitor Harry, while an unsettling client incident prompts her to reconsider love and marriage.
- The film explores themes of bravery, fear, and the costs of modern romance through Lucy's pragmatic yet conflicted perspective, with Johnson praising her co-stars as sensitive and open.

- The film's release suggests a nuanced yet genre-conflicted rom-com returning mid-budget focus to complex relationships but invites debate over its tonal shifts and portrayal of love among the affluent.
