Materialists review: Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson explore modern love
Just in case you haven't had enough of Pedro Pascal after The Last of Us, Fantastic Four and the forthcoming Eddington, the in-demand A-lister forms one corner of a very glamorous love triangle in romantic drama Materialists. Dakota Johnson plays Lucy, a single New Yorker who makes a great living as a professional matchmaker, pairing 'high-value' individuals based on their physical and financial attributes. Her scientific approach to love is rooted in an upbringing that left her fearful of poverty – something that ended her previous relationship. Her ex, broke actor John (Chris Evans), re-enters her life just as she begins dating Harry (Pascal), whose wealth and attention are everything she wants on paper. But an incident at work makes her question her entire outlook on love. The synopsis might sound like the setup for a cut-and-paste romantic comedy – a cynical matchmaker caught between two hunks – but happily, director Celine Song is aiming for something more grown-up. Her stunning debut, 2023's Past Lives, explored the idea of romantic kismet and soulmates. She returns to similar territory here, asking whether true love is something intangible – and if so, how do we know when we find it? There's a healthy degree of cynicism in the storytelling, but not where you might expect. Rather than tearing down the idea of true love to appear subversive, the film instead questions those who believe a life partner can be found through a checklist of 'must-haves'. While Johnson's sharp Manhattanite initially presents her system as perfectly reasonable, the idea of picking a potential partner like one would choose a new car gradually begins to feel absurd. Yet no one is mocked – every character gets a chance to express their feelings, building a vision of romance that doesn't rely on tired tropes. Johnson makes Lucy's weaknesses as compelling as her strengths, portraying someone whose past makes her crave security over spark. She's the perfect lead for Song, whose previous film favoured quiet, intense emotion over theatrics – and she shares genuine chemistry with both leading men. Star of the moment Pascal oozes class as the financier whose goals appear to align with Lucy's, while Evans has scruffy charm as the broke ex who loves her deeply. It may be obvious early on whom Lucy belongs with, but the joy lies in the emotional journey. Materialists ends quite neatly, but its mature take on the more vapid side of dating is nuanced enough to make that conclusion satisfying. Once again, Song explores the quiet, honest corners of the heart to share a message that is anything but superficial. • Materialists is in cinemas from 15 August

Pedro Pascal Dating History: Lena Headey to Robin Tunney, A Deep Dive into Actor's Low-Key Relationships
Pedro Pascal is the new heartthrob of the industry, impressing the audience with his brilliant performances on-screen. While the actor has been quite open about his work, the same cannot be said for his personal life. Pascal has kept his love life private and out of the spotlight. Recently, the Marvel star made headlines for being romantically involved with the Friends actress, Jennifer Aniston. However, a source close to the actor clarified that the duo are just friends who grabbed dinner together. Pedro Pascal's dating history During the initial days of his career, Pedro Pascal was linked with Maria Dizzia. After the duo starred together in one of the episodes of Law & Order in the late 90s, a source confirmed that they were linked romantically. While none of the actors confirmed their relationship in public, the media reports claimed that the attraction between the pair quickly fizzled out. Dizzia was later reported to date British playwright Will Eno. For the longest time, there were no reports or rumors about Pedro Pascal's dating life. In 2014, the movie star was reportedly dating his Game of Thrones co-star, Lena Headey. The fans speculated about a romance between the two after the actress shared a picture with Pascal on her Instagram account, with the caption, "Sunshine love." However, the actor later cleared the air over her bond with Headey, as he said, 'Lena is one of my [favorite people]... She is so funny and so smart, such a good person, a good friend and a good mother.' He added, "I think everyone on that set and anyone who comes in contact with her develops an instant crush. Talk about male or female, you're going to get a crush on her easy.' A year later, Pascal was yet again in the news for allegedly being in a relationship with Robin Tunney. The pair was often seen attending events together, and Pascal went on to star in one of the episodes of Tunney's show, The Mentalist. The relationship soon happened to fizzle out as the actress announced her engagement to Nick Marmet.

Angry French farmers cover squatters in manure and post it to YouTube
A convoy of tractors spread a mixture of faeces and water across fields where caravans were parked in Hautes-Vosges after reportedly receiving no help from police to remove what they described as an 'illegal gypsy camp'. Footage posted to YouTube shows the farmers' tractors circling rows of white caravans, leaving a trail of slurry in their wake. Some people from the caravans can be seen chasing the tractors, trying to halt the stinking onslaught. One man jumps on to a moving vehicle and bangs on the driver's window. At least six tractors were involved in the action, which was filmed by an anonymous farmer and uploaded on a popular farming website. Local media reported that about 400 caravans had set up camp in the area without permission at the beginning of July. The caption on the video said the farmers had sprayed manure on the fields around the encampment to prevent it expanding further. Pascal Claude, the mayor, said the travellers returned every year despite repeated requests to leave. 'The problem is that we find ourselves alone, powerless. They come back every year. We asked them to leave, but they won't,' Mr Claude said. 'There have been clashes with the farmers. We understand why they are not happy.' The travellers reportedly arrived from eastern France as part of an evangelical mission, according to the La Depeche newspaper. They are said to have formed a human barrier around their caravans to prevent the tractors advancing, with some climbing on the vehicles themselves. One farmer claimed to have received death threats. 'They can settle there without any problem, while we are bound by regulations,' he complained. A similar incident occurred last month in south-western France, when 250 caravans occupied farmland in Saint-Jean-de-Marsacq without authorisation. Around 500 caravans were reportedly based in the surrounding area, prompting several mayors from nearby towns to issue a joint statement backing the landowners. They pledged to 'unite, to show solidarity and common desire to act against a resurgence of illegal installations in the region'.
