Materialists TwitterRreview: Celine Song’s Materialists, featuring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal, debuted in theatres on Friday, and fans have taken to Twitter to share glowing reviews. The film is being lauded for its thoughtful and modern spin on romantic comedies.

Twitter Reviews Materialists
Calling it a career-defining moment for Chris Evans, another user raved about Materialists online, noting, “Celine Song’s second film is a masterclass in exploring love and modern expectations—intelligent, moving, and absolutely stunning in its depth.”
“Far from your typical romantic comedy, Materialists redefines romance in cinema. Dakota Johnson stuns, Pedro Pascal fits perfectly into his role, but it’s Chris Evans who gives the most emotionally powerful performance of his career.”
Sharply written and insightful in its deconstruction of dating, love and romantic expectations in the modern age, Celine Song has delivered another achingly beautiful film that shows no signs whatsoever of a sophomore slump. #Materialists is the antithesis of a romantic comedy,… pic.twitter.com/GmCxocMDTi

Forget romantic formulas—Materialists digs deep into the emotional messiness of love. It pulls at your heart in quiet, powerful ways. Chris Evans brings warmth and depth to a film that lingers like a feeling, not a narrative. Truly unforgettable.
“#Materialists is incredible. Celine Song cements her place as a top-tier director. Her ability to explore the emotional complexity of modern love is both compelling and authentic. While it diverges from Past Lives in theme, its emotional depth is just as profound.”
#Materialists is so damn good. Celine Songs 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. pic.twitter.com/F5tf3oLfFl
