Materialists, yes. It feels like it's setting up a thing that "Rich competent sexy men may be nice, but they'll never be the same as the terrible man-child you fell for when you were in your teens." And it wasn't at all clear what the view on relationships/love/etc. was. So it's possible it's being clever and interesting and all will be fine. But a fair number of women I know were deeply sceptical.

Last Ang Lee movie I enjoyed was Life of Pi.
