What is Materialists about?

Set in New York’s luxury-driven dating world, the story centers on Lucy (Dakota Johnson), a matchmaker torn between a charming billionaire (Pedro Pascal) and her struggling actor ex‑boyfriend (Chris Evans). Through dark romantic comedy, the film explores how money, ambition, and insecurity shape modern love. The script deftly balances satire and emotion, showing two people who love each other but remain trapped in competition, judgment, and emotional avoidance.

Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal: electric chemistry

Dakota Johnson portrays Lucy as witty, anxious, and emotionally volatile. Pascal plays Harry, a suave hedge‑fund financier, whose material perfection is alluring but hollow. Together, their scenes crackle with sarcasm, tension, and authenticity — a performance pair rarely seen onscreen.
