TO WATCH: “SOUND OF FALLING” BY MASCHA SCHILISNKI
"Sound of Falling" is a film that captures layers of memory and time.
What happens when you put both Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans opposite Dakota Johnson in a clever parody about modern dating culture? Materialists!
Celine Song, famous for her directorial work on Past Lives, enchants audiences with her emotionally loaded second theater release Materialists. The screenplay follows Lucy (Dakota Johnson), a highly regarded Match Maker in New York’s dating scene. After successfully marrying 9 people, she sees herself confronted with the first real challenge of her career – her own love life; and subsequently with the decision between her imperfect ex-boyfriend John (Chris Evans) and newly met crush and “unicorn” Harry (Pedro Pascal). Unicorn, because of Harry’s flawless, good-mannered appearance. And his money.
What follows is a heartfelt, tragic love-triangle that unfolds before our very eyes. Throughout, Celine Song sprinkles clever parodies on today’s warped dating culture; complete with unrealistic beauty-standards and a jealous ex-partner. To find out how Lucy decides was enough for me, to go see the movie in theaters. And to say the least, I wasn’t disappointed.
