Materialists
I had some trepidation walking into writer/director Celine Song 's Materialists . On one hand, Song provided my favorite film of 2023 . On the other hand, the set up of a beautiful matchmaker, starring my least-favorite mainstream actress, who just can't seem to find her own Mr. Right, sounded like the kind of bargain-basement romcom that would normally make me want to run quickly in the opposite direction. Thankfully, that's not what Materialists turns out to be. However, what we do get is only somewhat more successful.
