Shahid Online – Materialists begins with Lucy (Dakota Johnson), a professional matchmaker in New York City whose career revolves around uniting couples from all walks of life. Known for her sharp instincts and ability to handle even the quirkiest demands, Lucy has successfully guided nine couples into marriage. Yet, in a twist of irony, her own love life is far from perfect. Despite her confidence in matching others, Lucy finds herself caught in a whirlwind of complicated emotions when romance becomes personal.
The drama intensifies when Lucy meets Harry (Pedro Pascal), a man who seems like a dream come true. Wealthy, kind, and effortlessly charming, Harry offers her the kind of stability and comfort many would envy. Lucy sees him as her “unicorn,” an almost unreal figure who represents security and a well-crafted future. However, things take an unexpected turn with the sudden reappearance of John (Chris Evans), her struggling ex-boyfriend who still ignites a spark in her heart. John may lack financial stability, but he embodies the kind of raw passion and authenticity Lucy deeply craves. This emotional tug-of-war puts Lucy in a dilemma should she embrace comfort or surrender to the pull of old love?

Directed by Celine Song, Materialists marks her return after the critically acclaimed Past Lives. Unlike traditional romantic comedies filled with predictable tropes, this film leans toward realism and emotional depth. While it retains some rom-com elements such as unconventional careers and impossibly attractive male leads it pushes beyond the formula to explore modern dilemmas in relationships. Song challenges viewers to reflect: is love enough, or does material comfort play an equally vital role in choosing a life partner?
Materialists is not a lighthearted escapade but a nuanced exploration of love in today’s society. It captures the uncomfortable truth that romance often collides with practicality, making it both relatable and thought-provoking.
