Melissa Martinez

Some critics have dismissed Dakota Johnson’s performance in Materialists as flat or emotionless. Nah, don't listen to the noise. Her portrayal was both captivating and sincere, marked by a natural charm that brought real depth to the role. She navigated a wide emotional range with ease from laughter to tears, from quiet rationality to moments of regret, from tenderness to undeniable sensuality. Johnson delivered a performance that was not only believable but compelling. This movie and her performance were worth my $10. Excellent.
