Compagnon

Basically a Black Mirror episode, but in a standalone format.

I went into it without watching any trailers, which I think made the experience even more enjoyable and surprising.

The pacing and duration were okay: fast enough to keep things engaging, but short enough to avoid unnecessary scenes or fillers. It wasn't slow or drawn-out, which I really appreciated.

Sophie Thatcher's portrayal of the main character stood out to me. I think she was a good choice for this role.

The main idea of the movie is not very original, but, overall, I would recommend it as an easy weekend movie (not bad, not great either)

Sophie Thatcher was born for this role, masterfully balancing vulnerability and cruelty in a truly distinctive way. She's the new face of modern-day horror.

As soon as the credits roll, the thought-provoking social critique will leave you contemplating what society is turning into. Avoid the trailers at all costs, this is best experienced with no prior knowledge.

It's reflective on the way specific individuals are and who will turn out to be when certain outcomes occur. The concept, fast-pace, sharp comedy, and extreme bloodshed all add in together for a very fun and unexpected time at the cinema.

The premise of Companion isn't anything new however its execution is both charming and disturbing. It's also one of those movies where the less you know about it the better.

Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid are perfect in their respective roles. There's a lot of clever dialogue that elevates everyone's performance, gradually raising the tension at a great pace. Companion is a thriller more than it is horror movie but it goes to dark places while balancing humor to amazing effect.

The decision to contrast retro-style outfits with the modern-futuristic style of the technology and setting was a brilliant one. Costuming in general gets overlooked by many people but here it helps give Companion its own identity that fits the tone of the movie perfectly.

Companion utilizes its R-rating well too. There's a great balance of blood and violence mixed in with underlying themes of control, relationship dynamics, moral implications regarding technology, and much more. If you're looking for a dark comedy with a few surprises up its sleeve, you'll definitely want to check out Companion.

Imagine a modern twist on The Stepford Wives. If you've seen the trailer, you'll have a pretty good idea of where this is going, because the trailer reveals too much, why do they keep doing this?!

The film was entertaining and had its moments. There were a few laughs and a good dose of gore to keep things interesting. Sophie Thatcher definitely stole the show with her performance, making it worth the watch.

The movie delivers what it promises without any pretentious fluff, but it doesn't really break any new ground. It's a fun ride if you're in the mood for something light and gory, but don't expect any major surprises. Overall, it's an enjoyable film, but don't go in with sky-high expectations.

PS. I was completely convinced right until the credits rolled that Orlando Bloom was in this, but no, it was his doppelganger, Rupert Friend.

Not knowing anything about this before viewing thought it might be a tame rom-com or something. Oh how wrong I was!

There are a number of twists within the movie that are unexpected (or are they?) to the point I do want to watch it again to see if the signs were there. The characters are likeable and very unlikeable throughout. There are some very funny moments where the cinema audience all laughed and the plot, all be it ridiculous, is enjoyable and you can imagine it happening in the not so near future.

There are definite Black Mirror elements and this only adds to the fluid story line. It's a really interesting take on the future and above all a whole lot of fun.

Great film!
