Companion

"Fairly clever movie with all the elements I like -- dark comedy, sci-fi, thriller..."

"I was really excited for this and overall left satisfied (but slightly underwhelmed). To clarify, it's a good movie. The cast is expectedly fantastic, the setting and plot is really cool. I had a fun time. But the commercials give away a fun twist that is revealed during the first half of the movie. My boyfriend went into it with zero knowledge and left way more impressed than I did because it caught him entirely off guard. I highly recommend watching this if you love a good action-packed thriller, a good cast, a movie with deep themes of relationships, control, sexism, and dependency. BUT I also recommend NOT doing too much research into this before showing up to see it, or it will take some wind out of your sails. Trust. If you like the cast, the general vibe, you'll have a good time. "

"SO GOOD! The comedy landed, the storyline was exciting, and the acting was superb. I was thoroughly entertained from beginning to end. I do hate that I knew what the plot was kind of about because of the advertising. This movie could have had an awesome twist had the advertising not given it away. Besides that, the movie as a whole is a fun ride! Definitely see it when you have the chance. "

"This was amazing!"

"Sophie Thatcher is great in Companion, and so is Jack Quaid. I haven't seen either of them in all that much, but I'll think I'll have to follow both of their careers a little more. The highlight for me though was seeing both Harvey Guillén and Lukas Gage. I was honestly hoping for a little more with Gage's character arc, but he does get to do some pretty fun stuff."

" If you haven’t seen any of the trailers or read the synopsis do yourself a favor and avoid them if you are interested in watching this one. There are a couple of twists, and one is ruined in the trailers. A couple goes on a weekend getaway. These are his friends, and this seems to be the first time she has spent any extended time with them. One of those introductions into his inner circle. However, there are nefarious reasons why she was invited. I really enjoyed this one. Once twist is revealed you will find yourself rooting for her and wondering how this was going to end. There is also a good mix of comedy. I found myself laughing out loud a couple times. It isn’t something that’s going to stay with you, but you will be entertained from beginning to end. I say this is a must watch. Please check out my podcast Mostly Low Budget Movie Reviews with Clarence. I provide a spoiler free breakdown of exactly what the movie is about, the Rotten Tomatoes score and my complete thoughts. Available on all streaming platforms. Link is in the bio. Thank you!"

"The first half of the movie is five stars, the second half.. has issues, mainly with Guillén and Gage’s characters. Also, the main character literally tells you what’s going to happen at the beginning of the movie, but the movie still tries to draw out what might happen like you don’t already know. "

"Loved the concept and truly felt like a thrill ride."

""Companion" is a fun horror comedy!!! I laughed a lot the whole film!!! I will admit it was not completely what I was expecting overall, but the plot was engaging and unique. If you enjoy dark humor, then those movies will definitely resonate with you. If you're not a fan of sci-fi and/or dark humor, then you will not enjoy this movie very much. I loved the way the director addressed AI elements throughout the film and poked fun at the real-world societal views of AI in a playful and creative way. Overall, this was a fun watch for me! It reminded me of "Your Monster," but with a sci-fi setting instead. I suggest giving it a watch if you enjoyed "Your Monster" and enjoy AI themed movies!"

"jaw dropped when they name dropped telugu in this. and i also dug some of the scene setups. really cool use of the premise to stretch the plot."
