I just watch Past Lives and loved it. It makes you really think about connections and fate. So I've been curious about Materialists. I did enjoy Celine Song's interview with Modern Love https://youtu.be/fv4tVExa_r0?si=m7biddI9FfEaOMtO
The crazy part is, Joi, I love every interview Celine Song and the cast has done!! They're all so smart and charming and clever, but I didn't think it translates to the screen at ALLLLL 😬
But plenty of people disagree with me! Curious to hear your review, if you end up watching. It does have a lot of the elements that you may have loved about Past Lives (leisurely pacing; long, pretty shots; lush color).
Oh lordy! I haven’t seen this film and was prepared to say I would so I could properly respond, but then you shared that Andrew walked out and… I’m not going to waste my time. I recognize all that you’re saying. It’s true. And it’s boring. And don’t forget this is the entertainment of the masses. We do not have to go to the Colosseum and worship the emperor
What really caught my attention though was the absence of friends. Red flags everywhere for me. If you don’t have friends, if you don’t know how to be a friend, you wont be a good life partner. Full stop.
And sadly, I think this speaks more to our current culture than anything else. People are isolated and lonely. Supposedly you can have friendships without ever meeting or talking- just all thru devices and social media. If that’s the world the masses are living in, no wonder they’re still craving a fairy tale ending where everything turns out rosey and grand with little or minimal effort 😕
It all comes back to the loneliness, doesn't it? There's many ways to address the loneliness, and none of them involve more fairy tales or screen time 🙃

Now I'm curious to see just cuz.
😂 do it! The wild divergence of opinion about it is the craziest part to me! Can't wait to see which side of the divide you choose
