The ambition of Celine Song’s “Materialists” — her romantic comedy-drama starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal — is apparent from the first frame. Shot on 35mm film, the movie opens with a towering wide shot not of modern-day New York City, but a verdant forest, where we watch two cave people fall in love.

Celine Song's Materialists is a wry, thoughtful exploration of love, ambition, and the commodification of connection in modern relationships.

In the Materialists scene, you can spot Johnson’s Lucy and Evans’ John getting married; however, you can also watch countless other couples tie the knot. To Song, this shows the totally unique yet universal way of love. While each couple has their own story, they also go to this place to do the exact same thing. She explained:

Celine Song has found her next project, “Damage,” a series she’s currently developing for HBO set in the world of competitive E-Sports.

Materialists has easily been one of the most highly anticipated movie's of the year, a romance film starring Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, from filmmaker Celine Song.
