Movie review - Materialists

So yesterday I watched Materialist. Overall, I would say its not a comedy 100 per cent, rather a drama sad movie with a reality of a modern dating world.

So.

They made Dakota play a sugar baby. Again. But this time with a normal, gentle, adequate man with a secure attachment style (finally!). And what does she do? She says he does not love her and left him once saw the ring. She runs back to her ass broke ex-boyfriend whom she left because he was broke (she even confirms it to him afterwards). She went back to him knowing he is still in the same life chapter. She truly believes in his words that he is gonna work three catering shifts.

Ok, girl. But you also want to gave up the CEO position? Giiiirl, be real. Who is gonna pay the rent for both of you? Considering your new standards of living whom Pedro showed you? Let's be real, you wont survive a day in his shared apartment.

Regarding the Chris Evans's character. Honestly, it's hard to believe that he is from low working class. Great teeth, trimmed bear, good haircut, plus guy is definitely works out and eats good quality food.

Same for Dakota's grooming. Not gonna lie, she looks stunning: well-groomed, gracious, and elegant. But she makes 80k and lives in a nice apartment alone. And still has some money left for her haircuts, nice clothes, and all the beauty procedures?

Actually the most sexy thing that man said was in this movie when Pedro said:

"I have resources for both of us."

Damn. I don’t care if he was less taller and did the surgery, but this made him 10/10.

Also about surgery. The way he said: body like an apartment, always have to take care of it and invest.

Actually it’s kinda sad when he said about his height glow up and how everything changed both in personal and professional life.

And what would happened if her ex didn’t bump into her? Like would she still care about him and think about him? Would he think about her and miss her?

Like cmon.

Plus she said she hated that money related arguments trigger her because remind of her parents. But now she basically stepped into the hole for the second time. What a stupid decision!

The character I hated the most its the man who is 39 who wanted to be with someone who watched old movies, but not in 30's? So he wants a woman in 20's but not 29 because it's already 30? How about you fuck off with your double standards? Oh wait he actually wanted a young woman who is 21 and who would watch old movies with him and would listen how great man he is.

Honestly this movie is both funny and sad. It shows us how shallow we can be as humans, but also how non-logical and silly we can be. How we can love someone but not in a healthy way. Because I believe Dakota's character has some attachment style issues for real.

I haven't see Materialists, but I read the wiki because I actually did want to be spoiled and ... (spoilers under the cut)

A24 had the chance to do something really innovative for film and give us a mainstream film that gives us a good poly relationship, where all three ar all involved with each other. Instead they went with the formula >.<

Give us Dakota and Pedro, give us Dakota and Chris and give us Pedro and Chris! They really could have done something and show people what a healthy poly relationship looks like ...

Cowards.
