"Hopefully, when the time comes, this film will be in some award conversations because it absolutely deserves the flowers it’s about to receive," the user concluded.

Another called the movie "mature" and "emotional. "We are so fortunate to have someone as smart, intelligent, and perceptive as Celine Song making films. Materialists is as mature as it is emotional. It’s refreshing to watch a romantic dramedy in which the characters communicate earnestly with each other. I thoroughly loved this."

Calling Chris's performance Oscar worthy, a fan wrote, "The more I think about it, the more I want Chris Evans to get his first Oscar nomination for #Materialists. What he does with the role, coupled with Celine Song’s writing, has really stuck with me. He’s seriously that good."

"Materialists is a refreshingly honest look at modern day dating & the expectations that come with it. It's funny in parts but also achingly poignant. Dakota Johnson & Pedro Pascal are electric but it's Chris Evans who delivers career-best work. Bravo Celine Song," a user wrote.

A fan called the film "perfect" follow-up to Past Lives, starring Greta Lee, Teo Yoo and John Magaro. "Celine Song’s #Materialists is everything I wanted & more. An achingly perfect depiction what love is & how love can be defined to so many out there. Dakota Johnson & Chris Evans give their best performance to date! + Pedro is just amazing! The perfect follow up to 'Past Lives'," read a review.

Several movie buffs have also shared a wedding scene from the movie, calling it classic.

The film is produced by Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler of Killer Films, and David Hinojosa of 2AM.
