Materialistsis not your typical love triangle story. Celine Song's first project following her Academy Award-nominated debut film Past Liveschronicles Lucy (Dakota Johnson), a professional matchmaker in New York City, as she attempts to navigate her own love life with men from her past and present (Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal). Like she did in Past Lives, Song takes quite a minimalist approach to Materialists when it comes to dialogue and camera work, which consequently puts an added emphasis on the little things within her actors' performances.
