Materialists, the romantic comedy from A24 directed by Celine Song, lands on HBO Max after becoming a global box office hit.
The acclaimed A24 romantic comedy ‘Materialists‘ will make its highly anticipated streaming debut on 7 November via HBO Max, after grossing over 104 million dollars worldwide. Directed by Celine Song (Past Lives), the film stands out as one of the most resonant love stories of the year.
Dakota Johnson leads the cast as Lucy, a New York matchmaker caught between two opposing visions of love: on one side, a successful investor played by Pedro Pascal, embodying financial security; on the other, her ex-boyfriend John, portrayed by Chris Evans, as charming as he is unpredictable. As the story unfolds, Lucy must not only choose between them but also confront the foundations of her profession and her own idea of love.
‘Materialists‘ surprised from its opening weekend, earning 12 million dollars upon release and quickly becoming an unexpected phenomenon for an independent romantic drama. The film also stars Zoë Winters, Marin Ireland, Louisa Jacobson and Eddie Cahill, adding freshness and nuance to a story that resonates with the emotions and dilemmas of an entire generation.
Modern, elegant and emotionally astute, ‘Materialists‘ is set to become essential viewing for anyone seeking more than a conventional romance. Its arrival on HBO Max marks the beginning of a new chapter for this contemporary gem that redefines what it means to choose — or not — with the heart.
