Based on the book by British actor Peter Turner, Film Stars tells the story of his relationship with legendary (and eccentric) Hollywood actress Gloria Graham in the final years of her life. A sensual femme fatale, she starred alongside legends of the 1950s silver screen such as Humphrey Bogart, Robert Mitchum, Lana Turner and Kirk Douglas, and was awarded an Academy Award in 1952 for her supporting performance in Vincente Minnelli's The Bad and the Beautiful. In 1978, already in her fifties and performing in minor theatrical productions, she met the young Turner in Liverpool.

Lucy works at a high-end matchmaking company trying to pair up moneyed entrepreneurs with elite bachelors and bachelorettes. When she meets Harry at the wedding of two of her successfully paired clients, she immediately knows that this ‘unicorn’ would be a perfect catch for a lot of her customers. But Harry is more interested in Lucy. And then her ex suddenly shows up… As we could expect from the director of Past Lives, Materialists is not exactly a romantic comedy about a matchmaker torn between two suitors, but rather a lucid examination of the contradictions of love and dating.
