Meet Lucy (Dakota Johnson), one of New York City’s most in-demand matchmakers. She’s built her career on reading people, pairing them up, and always staying in control - emotionally and professionally.
But when she attends a glitzy wedding, two faces from her past and present collide - and suddenly her notion of stable life becomes upended:
What starts as a love triangle quickly becomes a full-blown dilemma - threatening Lucy’s business, her reputation, and her belief that she’s always been better at helping others find love than finding it herself.
The choice? A future that looks perfect on paper - or the one that still makes her heart race.
There’s no rom-com magic without a knockout ensemble—and Materialists delivers. Here’s the full cast:
Visionary director Celine Song (of Past Lives acclaim) brings emotional depth and razor-sharp insight to Materialists. Her direction turns a classic rom-com premise into a layered story about choice, identity, and vulnerability.
Set against a backdrop of New York’s intimate corners and vibrant social circles, the film captures moments of quiet reflection alongside comedic highs. Every detail - from cinematography to soundtrack - makes it clear this was made for the big screen.
Materialists doesn’t just deliver laughs - it invites you to feel, reflect, and maybe even reconsider what you think love looks like.
Materialists arrives in Ster-Kinekor cinemas on 13 June - a date worth saving, whether you’re watching with a date, your best friend, or just treating yourself.
