I completely agree with you! I was so surprised to see takes on this film. Yes, Dakota Johnson is cold, but that’s the point! And she doesn’t have much chemistry with Pedro Pascal, but that’s the point!
I love that you love this film so much! While I agree with many of your points, I’m sad that there are so many comments about how “cold” Dakota Johnson is in her roles. I thought she was great in this.
I would’ve preferred a less “rom-com” ending and no cave people bookends…but it’s great to have a film worthy of quibbling over!
100% agree, especially an era when most films are so shallow there is no quibbling to be done. Dakota doesn't get enough love ever - especially in "Cha Cha Real Smooth" from a few years ago.
I am actually with you on the "rom-com" ending - it is partially why Broadcast News will always be one of my favorites because it so clearly doesn't do that.
I didn’t care for Materialists at all. I think it really went off the rails for me in the scene where Dakota Johnson stalked and confronted the assault victim. But I will see everything Celine Song makes because of how incredible Past Lives is.

Exactly!! Not sure why so many people are missing that

Totally fair!
