Materialists Star Dakota Johnson Would’ve Been ‘Fired’ if She Was Real-Life Matchmaker Says Professional, Know Why

In her latest movie, Materialists, Dakota Johnson is captivating audiences with her outstanding acting skills. She’s taking on the character of a matchmaker who finds herself caught up in a romantic entanglement between Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal.

Although Johnson’s character in the film appears admirable in many aspects, New York City dating coach, Maria Avgitidis, holds a different opinion.

As a devoted admirer, I followed up on Avgitidis’ comments regarding the actress’ portrayal in “Materialists.” In my opinion, her character seemed to have its flaws, and I believe that the director and production team missed the mark when it came to getting the finer details right. If a professional such as Johnson’s character had been part of the industry, they would likely have faced termination for those mistakes.

Maria Avgitidis’ comments on Dakota Johnson’s portrayal of a matchmaker in Materialists

After the premiere of the Celine Song movie directed by her, NYC matchmaker Maria Avigitidis spoke with People Magazine about her personal feelings. She confided that her professional persona is quite distinct from the character portrayed by the actress playing Madame Web. Avigitidis admitted, “I don’t recognize myself in this.

She also mentioned, “I was attempting to advise some matchmakers, ‘You’re planning a full-blown movie night, I suggest you be cautious.’ I’m at a loss as to what more I can say.

Additionally, during our conversation with the media source, the matchmaker brought up the topic of abuse and violence on initial dates, as depicted in the movie. She asserted that Johnson’s character would have been dismissed in reality if such behavior occurred.

Twice during my 17-year career, I’ve had to let go of clients due to their unsuitable behavior on dates. However, they acknowledged their mistakes, saying something like, ‘You’re right, Maria, that was certainly inappropriate.’

Speaking as an ardent admirer, let me share with you a fascinating revelation about the creative genius behind “The Past Lives,” Celine Song. In a captivating disclosure, she unveiled that the intricate details woven into her masterpiece were not merely fictional, but rather drawn from real-life experiences. The concept for “Materialists” was sparked while she was immersed in her work at Tawkify, where her own life story served as the blueprint for this captivating tale.

In the movie, what’s depicted is based on truth I uncovered: a humorous yet disturbing portrayal of objectifying each other’s humanity, which leads to a genuine commercialization of one another as we navigate this journey known as dating. However, it’s intended to be a quest for love.

The movie “Materialists” has been thriving in cinemas, after its grand debut at the 75th Cannes Film Festival’s premiere.
