Materialists Director Calls 'Broke Man Propaganda' Commentary 'Cruel'

Materialists filmmaker Celine Song is clapping back at those who have described her film as “broke man propaganda.”

During a recent interview with Refinery29 , the writer-director behind the romance movie responded to the “very cruel” commentary surrounding the relationship between Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans ‘ characters, Lucy and John.

“I think that it doesn’t make me laugh, because it really is disappointing to me,” Song said. “I think that there is a very real confusion about feminism and the history of feminism. Through intersectionality, so much of feminism has been about anti-corporate and anti-capitalist and, of course, it was always at the forefront of fighting capitalism, so I’m very concerned about the way that we talk about people who are poor.”
