Materialists

I was never the romance drama movie type of person, it's not that i disliked them, they just weren't my go-to genre, but when i watched Celine Song's Past Lives, something changed, i wasn't blown away by the entire film as a whole, but the depth of the character relationships really struck me, that experience made me curious about Materialists, plus the cast look excellent, and now, having seen it, i can say it exceeded my expectations. By the end of the movie, i was left with three big tears shed at three different moments, something i rarely experience, to my surprise, i concluded that Materialists is my favorite film of the year so far, a movie in a genre i usually don't gravitate toward somehow became the one that touched me the most, the relationships and character development went far beyond what I usually expect. The writing, especially around Dakota Johnson's character, was remarkably fresh, i had no idea matchmaker could even be a profession, let alone one used so creatively in a film, and that creative decision made the story even more interesting, Pedro Pascal delivered a wonderful performance, and Chris Evans is finally gave what i believe his best wide approved performance since Knives Out and mostly his post-Marvel roles, the supporting cast also added great depth. What really surprised me was how emotionally powerful the film was, i kept asking myself why it hit me so hard, and the only answer i could come up with is that Celine Song is simply that good at crafting characters who feel valuable and real, she makes the audience genuinely care about what happens to them, at times, the writing was so beautiful that it moved me to tears. Overall, Materialists was a joyful and unexpectedly emotional experience, it made me happy to be so deeply engaged with a film, and i think Celine Song has elevated the rom-com genre to another level here, the way this story explores love feels profound and deeply fascinating, for me, it's not just impressive, it's quite unforgettable, i absolutely love this movie.

Celine Song se va a convertir en una de mis guinistas/directoras favoritas, pudo ser una historia cliché, si; pero como abordó el desarrollo de la protagonista y su significado del amor me gustó, los diálogos calculados, fascinante.
