Materialists Twitter review:

Materialists, which features Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal, premiered in theaters on Friday, and viewers have begun inundating social media with their reviews. Materialists, the latest film from Celine Song, director of the acclaimed Past Lives, is being praised on social media for its incisive, reflective approach to the romantic comedy genre.

The movie, which stars Dakota as Lucy, a matchmaker in New York City, explores love, ambition, and the challenges of contemporary relationships. Lucy is caught between her charismatic ex, John (Chris Evans), and Harry (Pedro Pascal), a affluent financier, against the backdrop of New York's high society.

Twitter Evaluates Materialists

"On Materialists hit me on such a deep, vulnerable, and personal level," one fan commented on X (formerly Twitter). Beautifully crafted, directed, and written. The Celine song portrays love so beautifully that you can see hope in a truly authentic love even if you've given up on it.

In his review of the movie, another social media user stated that Chris Evans gave his finest performance to date.

He stated, "Celine Song has delivered another achingly beautiful film that shows no signs whatsoever of a sophomore slump; it is sharply written and insightful in its deconstruction of dating, love, and romantic expectations in the modern age."

"#Materialists is the opposite of a romantic comedy, yet it becomes the year's most romantic movie as a result. "Chris Evans steals the show with a career-best performance that will break your heart, while Dakota Johnson is superb, delivering a performance that is on a whole other level, and Pedro Pascal is flawless."

Another reviewer on X gave a beautiful account of the atmosphere in theatre and wrote, "Watched MATERIALISTS with a packed crowd tonight and when the credits hit the energy in the theater felt like Top Gun: Maverick. People were crying and cheering... i think even saw a spontaneous proposal. The romantic dramedy is officially back. (sic)"

Calling it modern day Casablanca, a social media user said that Dakota's film is love story for the ages. "Materialists is a modern day Casablanca - a love story for the ages. Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans & Pedro Pascal all knock it out of the park, as did Celine Song. People clamoring for a grown-up movie that is not based on IP need to see it ASAP."

A reviewer mentioned the film's quality to reveal that love is messy and immeasurable to the core, is thought-provoking. 

"Materialists quietly breaks your heart and stitches it back with something raw and true. It strips away algorithms and ideas of “compatibility” to reveal love’s messy, unmeasurable core. Chris Evans shines in a film that feels less like a story and more like a feeling. LOVED it."

“#Materialists is so damn good. Celine Song etches herself as one of my favorite directors working today. Her writing of the dynamics of modern romance are so resonant and compelling. Some different thematics from Past Lives but the take on love is just as strong,” wrote a social media user. 

Some fans also criticised Materialists 

While many have praised the film, some viewers have expressed reservations.

A social media user said, "Materialists wasn’t for me. Found the writing unbearably bad at times, repetitive monologues about how love can’t be reduced to numbers and checkboxes or whatever. Could’ve had something with more charming leads but only Pedro worked, Dakota and Chris made me roll my eyes."

Another social media user pointed out how Zoe Winters stole the show from the main lead.

"In Materialists (2025), you have three well established actors not giving you anything past a surface-level performance, then randomly have Zoe Winters giving you her all in the 20 minutes of screen time she gets (which was a weird a$$ storyline)."

“Materialists: I really wanted to like this movie but I don’t think i did. An interesting dig at the current western dating structure, but redundant. A lot quieter than I expected, the camera lingers. Basically, if you’re looking for love, pick someone and love them,” wrote a social media user.
