Celine Song had one of the best debuts as a writer/director in recent memory with her beautiful romance drama Past Lives, which was nominated for two Oscars and earned plenty of rave reviews (it’s 95% “Certified Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes). So what is she doing for her much-anticipated follow-up? How about a star-studded romantic comedy, Materialists.
As with Past Lives, Song is reteaming with A24, as the specialty distributor is backing the movie. It joins a big slate of 2025 A24 movies, including Death of a Unicorn, Warfare, The Legend of Ochi, Friendship and more.
