‘Materialists’ and the Woes of True Love in the Age of Data

“You won’t, when you love someone. It’ll be easy. No math.” In the latter part of Materialists, professional matchmaker Lucy finally resolves to break up with a wealthy “unicorn” (defined as a highly desirable, high-quality man, who’s an “impossible fantasy”) named Harry, admitting that their industry—framed by algorithms and big data—ultimately fails to deliver true love. Harry, who’s grabbing a

Materialists: If Regret Were a Love Language

"Materialists" (2025) is the kind of movie that sneaks up on you. It’s charming, witty, and brimming with emotional depth—but there's a catch. At first glance, it might seem like a glossy romance about choices, fate, and the paths we take. But if you look closer, it’s a sharp, sometimes devastating commentary on the idea that we can have it all—especially when we don’t, and how we reconcile our un

Transactional Affection and Quantified Intimacy in Materialists

I sat beneath the velvet gloom of the theater and felt the ledger breathe. Watching Materialists I felt an uneasy recognition. Dakota Johnson’s matchmaker drafted human futures by candlelight, Pedro Pascal’s financier glided across marble with the hush of money too old to remember its first sin, and Chris Evans bore the shabby nobility of every poet who pays rent with hope.

It's not that her husband provides her with material things, but that his very existen

The Most Materialistic Part About Materialists Was the Chemistry

The response is split down the middle. I still think the movie sucked. Okay, maybe that's a little bit too harsh, but I just don't feel like I ever connected with anyone or anything in that theatre. Everything felt so bland. So emotionless. What were the stakes, really? Lucy just complained about how mathematical romance had become for her, and then also dated two super hot guys. Don't even get me

Ishika: Love can be messy,but if u make ur main protagonist lowkey boring and not a good person, im officially tuned out.

The Life of a Materialist Dragon

A few weeks ago, I wrote about my double feature experience with Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning and Lilo & Stitch. The films had attempted, half-heartedly, to be the next Barbenheimer, but they simply weren't. Still, my day at the cinema reminded me of how much I enjoy a double feature. So with the current onslaught of summer movies, I decided to attempt something even more ambitious: a
