Review of materialists: This romance shines, but fades like perfume in the air
The ‘materialistic’ works well when it shows a flawful, ambitious, beautiful woman, just trying to live her best life. But, what she preaches, and the option that it makes, especially when it comes to men, does not feel really right. Also, how does a romantic film work in the absence of good intimate scenes, especially when you have such beautiful faces leading the story?
In short
- The ‘materialistic’ discovers a love triangle with Lucy, torn between his suits
- Lucy dreams of marrying Amir, but struggles with his true desires
- Harry of Pedro Pascal is a victorious catch – a rare, ideal person
In the shining armor, there is one thing to dream of a story romance with your knight, and the other to give all of your dreams to work. In the ‘materialists’ of Seleen Song, Lucy is the woman who is doing all this. Still everything seems to be present only on the perimeter – people, locations, possibilities. For example, life is happening in a mist, where nothing is completely real or within understanding.
Dakota Johnson’s Lucy, a properly successful matchmaker, clings to his profession because he has realized – through testing and error – that he is not for anything else. Her dream, as she clearly says, is to marry someone who is rich, rich and supreme rich. But when life surprises him, and he really meets such a man, she wants herself more – because life, as always, is another twist in the store. Her ex -boyfriend, re -manifest of John (starred by Chris Evans), only complicates things. Lucy is not just confused about what she wants, but she also wants.
Lucy, in the heart, like any other girl – is trying to perform her best in a world that saves her longest applause for rich and beautiful. His life is not a great heritage, but a daily Udham – making his bed, drinking his tea, and earning his money, although very or very little, and although it takes it.
Then the Harry enters-oh-so-so-swar-worthy Pedro Pascal. The moment he appears, you want to shout, “Girl! He is one.” Harry is the one whom Lucy calls’ Ek Ginda ‘ – a man who is present against all obstacles’. Blessed with suave, composition, eloquent and a great hairline in tuxedos – he is rare. Harry is the man who can actually bring down the stars and the moon for someone.

When Harry meets Lucy, the sparks fly, and you know that there is more than the casual. They are, after all, good looking people – and it helps. But, who wants a simple life? Do we really like when everything is going well how we wish for it? No, we keep thinking that something is going to happen somewhere, and it is exactly what happens in their life.
‘The materialists have painted a beautiful picture of a love triangle that we have seen a hundred times. It tugs your heartbeat in places, but eventually satisfies you – such as a child on a wall scribeing, discovery the meaning in dirt.
This is a mature love story, but not without faults. Written and directed by the song, the film often preaches. You enjoy some parts of it, but you are not survived. The story raises more questions than the answer. While the dilemma of Lucy is well exposed, men in their lives stay away despite their emotional efforts. Everyone is trying to understand Lucy, to accept his flaws and ambitions, and to deal with his honesty, but the ‘materialistic’ does not expand the same etiquette to his men. They are simply reacting to Lucy’s comment on their lives, such as they do not have their own inner world.
The slow-moving screenplay begs for a climax that provides comfort-some warm and rewarding, the way you expect from a good Rome-Com. But, it reflects its title: a little artificial, slightly far away, and not quite grounded.
Should anyone compromise on lifetime ambitions when they are attained? Life is about love – but should it all be about love? Is it wrong to respect materialistic within you? Sure, money cannot buy happiness. But, the life that is in the business deal, should not the money be at least on the table?
The ‘materialistic’ leaves you divided. It is conflicting to see the girl you have just started to recognize with wrong options – and then defend them. Maybe you are in a phase of life, where love feels just like truth that matters. But listen to me – love is everything, but not. It is powerful, yes. But this is not always enough.
You can close your eyes, knowing that you were loved, and this is a beautiful heritage. But only someone who has tasted luxury knows the strange satisfaction in giving it. the choice is yours. It is okay to be lucy with ‘materialists’. But, you can also be Lucy who chose right.
The beauty of the film, and a magnificent pascal in it, makes ‘materialists’ a one -time watch. Oh, and there are no intimate scenes to elevate romance. A Sri Darcy-style (‘pride and prejudice’) Ekalap from Evans? Yes. But a drool-worthy Noa-Elle (‘The Notebook’) kissing? Not enough.
