It’s refreshing to watch a romantic dramedy in which the characters communicate earnestly with each other. I thoroughly loved this.”

Another one, ‘G_Reelz’ commented, “Materialists is a refreshingly honest look at modern day dating & the expectations that come with it. It's funny in parts but also achingly poignant. Dakota Johnson & Pedro Pascal are electric but it's Chris Evans who delivers career-best work. Bravo Celine Song. #Materialists”

Another X user, ‘TheJoyOfMovies’ added, “The more I think about it, the more I want Chris Evans to get his first Oscar nomination for #Materialists. What he does with the role, coupled with Celine Song’s writing, has really stuck with me. He’s seriously that good.”
