Dakota Johnson spotted 'kissing' co-star after Chris Martin's on-stage message
Dakota Johnson was seen with her on-screen love interest and co-star Chris Evans' arm around her waist at the New York City premiere of her upcoming romantic comedy, Materialists Dakota Johnson 'kissed' her Materialists co-star at the New York City premiere of her new movie on Saturday night, after her ex Chris Martin supported her upcoming movie. While she attended the event and posed for photos, the 35-year-old had Chris Evans' arm tightly wrapped around her waist. The stunning actress looked in high spirits as she stood in front of the cameras with Marvel star Evans, but it wasn't him she locked lips with. In Pedro Pascal's absence, she held up a cardboard cut-out of her on-screen love interest and kissed Pascal's photo, who plays her 'perfect match' in the film. Materialists is Dakota's upcoming rom-com, set for release in August. In it, she plays protagonist Lucy, a young, ambitious New York City matchmaker, who finds herself unable to choose between her 'perfect match' and her imperfect ex. The love triangle her character finds herself embroiled in is between The Last of Us actor Pascal's charming billionaire Harry, and Marvel star Chris Evans, who plays her college sweetheart. Acclaimed filmmaker Celine Song is at the helm, with much-hyped movie hoping to revive the genre at the box office. Dakota's light-hearted display comes as her rumoured ex Chris Martin showed public support for her new movie, urging a sold-out stadium of Coldplay fans to go and see it. The 48-year-old singer was reported to have split from his partner of eight years this week. Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota has been reported to be "devastated" by the break-up, but sources have also suggested it was a long-time coming. Amiable Chris still showed his support to Dakota, who has reportedly been just as upset about losing contact with his children, after growing close to them. Chris was closing his Allegiant Stadium gig in Las Vegas, addressing the audience to say: "Thank you so much everybody." He added: "Be kind to yourself, be kind to each other. Don't forget to see Materialists! We love you!" But off the big screen, Dakota's love life has been just as challenging, with the actress' rep forced to deny break-up rumours back in August 2024. On Monday June 2, Dakota was seen out in New York without her engagement ring. Neither Dakota nor Chris has confirmed or spoken on the reports yet, but a source has claimed that the rumoured split has been "painful" for Dakota. Speaking to the Sun, a they revealed: "Dakota wanted this relationship to work. "She not only loves Chris, but his two kids, and that loss feels incredibly painful. The decision to end things was amicable, but Dakota is finding it hard. Over the past year, it became clear that their relationship had stalled and wasn't moving forwards." As Coldplay's world tour continues, Dakota has been working on promoting Materialists, as well as her other upcoming film Verity. The latter is set for release in 2026, and is an adaptation of It Ends With Us author Colleen Hoover's novel of the same name. Although they have had to shut down split rumours before, the Mail reports that this time, it's final. An insider told the paper: "Dakota held a flame for them to be together because she loved him so much and loved his kids so much. "Breakups aren't instant and they continued to breakup and makeup and sometimes things would work when they were away from each other, while they were working because absence makes the heart grow fonder, but then they'd get back together and little things just kept adding up to where they weren't right for each other anymore... Dakota is devastated that she isn't going to be around his kids as much anymore, but wants them to know that she is always there for them."

WWII film that 'blows Dunkirk out of the water' is leaving Netflix soon
This powerful hit drama is leaving Netflix later this month Joe Wright's cinematic masterpiece Atonement, starring Keira Knightley and James McAvoy, has made an indelible impact with its seven Oscar nominations and a box office return that quadrupled its budget. Set against the backdrop of World War 2, Atonement is a riveting tale that unfolds over one sultry day in 1935, with consequences rippling through the decades. The film boasts an epic five-minute continuous shot featuring 1,000 extras that captures the Dunkirk evacuation chaos from McAvoy's perspective. For those intrigued, time is ticking to watch this war drama on Netflix, as it departs the service on 16th June. The film enjoys an impressive 83% 'fresh' rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where the critical consensus reads: "Atonement features strong performances, brilliant cinematography, and a unique score. Featuring deft performances from James MacAvoy and Keira Knightley, it's a successful adaptation of Ian McEwan's novel." Atonement clinched the Best Film accolade at the BAFTAs, took home the Best Original Score at the Oscars, and earned Saoirse Ronan an Oscar nod for Best Supporting Actress at just 13 years old, reports the Express. Launching both the 2007 Venice and Vancouver Film Festivals, the film also marked Wright as the youngest director ever to open the former at only 35. Critic Andrew Collins gave the film a glowing five-star review in Radio Times, declaring: "Atonement transcends the expectations of its country-house setting, via the privations of war, to deliver a knockout twist that works better on the screen than it did on the page." Bruce Newman, another film critic, praised the first part of the movie, stating: "In its first 45 minutes, Atonement achieves a kind of perfection rare even for big Oscar-bait movies," but he added a note of caution: "Every facet of the filmmaking is the equal of any picture released this year. The rest of the movie isn't so bad." The film has stirred up quite the conversation among fans, with one standout review on Letterboxd proclaiming: "13 years old saoirse ronan was robbed of that oscar for her performance as THE DEVIL." On Google, a fervent admirer of the film compared it to Dunkirk (2017), expressing: "I deeply appreciate Atonement for other reasons and while the films are about 10 years apart I am utterly perplexed by how Nolan's Dunkirk became the critical darling it is, especially since this film exists.

Learn more from £15 Sky Get the deal here Product Description "This film isn't about the evacuation of Dunkirk or WWII (those elements form the background for a fully realized troubled romance and family drama) and YET this film spends about 20 minutes on Dunkirk and it conveys the horror, defeat and dread of it it far sharper and more resonant than Nolan's film does for its entire run time." Another popular opinion on Letterboxd, which attracted over 6,000 likes, succinctly put it: "the five-minute long take on the beach >>>>>>> dunkirk (2017)". Atonement is available to stream on Netflix until Monday, 16th June.
