At its core, Materialists is a story about Lucy Mason’s emotional journey. A former failed actor turned successful matchmaker in New York City, Lucy views dating and relationships differently from the average human. She sees them through a transactional lens, giving each potential partner a value based on various metrics, including assets, compatibility, and traits.

She eventually meets Harry Castillo (Pedro Pascal), a wealthy and charming bachelor who is, on paper, her perfect match. But that’s where her professional and personal lives blur their lines in the most unexpected way possible. The film explores modern relationships through Lucy, whose worldview is turned upside down with the arrival of her ex-boyfriend, John Finch.

A struggling actor, John and Lucy had ended their relationship due to financial issues. But after he suddenly appears in her life, it’s as if time never moved for the two. They effortlessly rekindle their chemistry, and that forces her to redefine her way of life.

The story grows and transforms as Lucy attempts to navigate her life and her relationships with these two men. The focus is on how she grows and changes her views on love and relationships. Song’s film also explores the loneliness of perfect dating profiles and perfect apartments in a big city while attempting to find the perfect partner along the way.
