Film review: Money or love? ‘Materialists’ has the answer

Celine Song’s Materialists is not the romantic comedy its glossy Y2K-inspired trailer suggests, writes Disha S. Charan for Film News Blitz. 

Instead, it reveals itself as a sharp and often unsettling reflection on modern love, where money and status are never far from the conversation. 

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
