Watched this last night and I have to say this may be one of the more overtly sociological movies of the summer. Assortative mating, relational work, and more. Demographers and economic sociologists rejoice!
At its best, Celine Song’s new film, “Materialists,” “displays startling inspiration not just in Song’s writing of dialogue but also in the way she provides this dialogue with a cinematic identity,” @tnyfrontrow.bsky.social writes.
“Materialists” Is a Feast of Talking Pictures
Celine Song’s romantic tale, starring Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans, offers thrilling dialogue but some puzzling silences.

"Here surely lies sociology's distinctively

state." May others go forward in memory of Michael Burawoy. www.asanet.org/michael-bura...
