From Celine Song, the Academy Award-nominated writer and director of Past Lives, comes Materialists: the story of a young, ambitious New York City matchmaker torn between the perfect match and her imperfect ex.
Lucy (Dakota Johnson) is the star matchmaker at a boutique New York agency, and believes love is a numbers game. Her beliefs are put to the test when two potential suitors for her come along at once.
One is Harry (Pedro Pascal), a suave, wealthy bachelor who's perfect on paper, and can offer her the lifestyle she covets. The other is her ex: John (Chris Evans), a struggling actor working as a cater-waiter, whose messy lifestyle is her biggest hindrance.
But how do you choose between the life you want and the love you need?
