- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: In her follow-up to her Oscar nominated debut “Past Lives,” writer/director Celine Song once again features a woman caught between two men, but this time she’s viewing them through an entirely different lens
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Director Celine Song isn’t interested in fairy-tale romance—but rather the cost of chasing one.
- Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: he next great romantic comedy stars Dakota Johnson as a luxe matchmaker.
- Nell Minow @ moviemom.com
- Excerpt: The themes are worth exploring but are always just out of reach.
- Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: A trainwreck of a rom-com that seems to have learned all the wrong lessons from what Past Lives did right, Materialists is poorly acted, weakly written, and directed with little energy and verve. What it does have to say about modern love or relationships is marred by garbled execution. For writer-director Celine Song, it’s a staggering misstep; a massive disappointment from a filmmaker we’ve seen is capable of so much more.

- Excerpt: Celine Song’s sophomore effort, The Materialists, features an unlucky-at-love tryptic of Dakota Johnson stuck between choosing Chris Evans or Pedro Pascal.
- Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: There’s plenty to enjoy here: Pascal’s work, Shabier Kirchner’s cinematography (analogue, with lots of texture and contrast), some funny moments, and the themes Song conveys about how couples relate to each other today.
