‘Materialists’ Surprises with Substance and Style - Review

Headed into Materialists expecting a glossy, maybe even superficial take on modern romance — a love triangle in designer clothing. But what we got was something far more introspective. Celine Song isn’t interested in just telling a love story; she’s questioning what love even means in a world obsessed with status, power, and image. The film surprised us with its emotional weight, offering a layered exploration of how relationships are shaped not only by desire, but by the things we’re too afraid to say and the lives we’re too afraid to leave behind.
