The Materialists, a romantic drama from A24, will be available to watch on HBO Max starting November 7. After its successful theatrical release, viewers can now watch the emotional and choice-filled love story at home.
It stars Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans. Johnson plays Lucy, a New York matchmaker who must choose between two men—a wealthy investor (Pascal) and her struggling ex-boyfriend John (Evans). As she tries to mend her heart, she also realizes she needs to figure out what kind of love and partner she really wants.
The film grossed around ₱6.1 billion (equivalent to $104 million USD) worldwide and recorded ₱700 million (around $12 million USD) in its opening weekend. Due to this success, audiences' interest in modern love stories has revived.
Also included in the cast are Zoë Winters, Marin Ireland, Louisa Jacobson, and Eddie Cahill, who add color and depth to the film. Directed by Celine Song, Materialists shows how difficult it is to choose between love and stability in life.
