Beautiful "Materialists" Can't Quite Find Its Footing
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. Similarly, it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman will be happiest if she marries a man with a good fortune, similar upbringing, matching attractiveness levels, and compatible politics. At least, that’s what Materialists’ main character would have you believe.
Lucy, played by Dakota Johnson, is a matchmaker working for Adore, a New York City agency designed to set you up on dates and (hopefully) find the person you intend to marry. For Lucy and her coworkers, marriage is not about finding true love but checking off as many boxes as possible in a quest to be compatible. It’s a business agreement at the end of the day, and it turns out that’s something most of their clients can buy into.
For Lucy’s part, she believes love exists. She just doesn’t believe it will make anybody happy. She had love once with her former long-term boyfriend, John (Chris Evans). After breaking up because he was too poor, she went on dating hiatus.
She plans to marry the next person she dates, and will only date very rich people from here on out. Her wish appears to come to fruition when she meets Harry Castillo (Pedro Pascal), a man so hot, tall, and rich that in the business they call him a “Unicorn”.

"First Girl I Loved": A Well-Intended but Ultimately Flawed Story of Identity
Despite its glaring flaws, First Girl I Loved is not entirely undeserving of a watch. For people who can handle the more difficult aspects of the story and graphic scenes, it is worth looking into. It’s not a film worthy of rewatch, but it may still resonate somewhat with those who need a story like this. It is a genuine, if flimsy attempt at a coming-of-age tale. Were the film to be directed by someone with experiences more similar to Anne, it would likely be more powerful--as it is, it feels like a man’s perspective of what it means to come to terms with your identity as a lesbian.
