Acompanhante Perfeita

Movie was a pretty interesting watch. It wasn't too long, which I appreciated, and the pacing kept things moving. The acting was solid, with the main character delivering a standout performance that really carried the movie. The rest of the cast did well too, but she was the highlight for me.

That being said, the plot felt a bit weak. It had potential, but it didn't go as deep as I hoped, and some parts felt predictable. It's still entertaining, but don't expect anything groundbreaking story-wise.

One big tip: don't watch the trailer before seeing the movie. It gives away too much and takes away from some of the surprises. If you go in blind, you'll have a much better experience.

Overall, it's worth watching for the performances and the concept, but it's not the kind of movie that will stick with you for long.

This is a surprisingly enjoyable movie with a dark comedic edge. Thought the opening gives a hint of what's to come, it starts in somewhat plodding fashion with a lakeside getaway. However, once it gets going, the twisted (and bloody) roller coaster ride is on full force. Not for everyone, but if you've enjoyed Black Mirror episodes, you'll probably like it.

$10M, 90 minute movie with good writing that is well acted. Loved it! Would happily take 20 of these over one Kraven or the 45th Indiana Jones movie, etc. Thanks New Line!

Everyone who made this movie did their job well. Great script with plenty of turns and some laughs. Casting did a great job, with Eli and Patrick in particular getting great performances. Movie was shot and directed well, edited well with some pretty minor effects that were done well. All in all just a well rounded, great effort that I hope audiences turn out for because this is the kind of movie studios should be making imo.

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 marketing shouldn't have revealed the big first act twist however, Companion is still twisty enough to not be derailed by that and it's unpredictable nature also makes it worthy of Barbarian director Zach Cregger's heavily marketed producing credit. It's a great thriller about the worst tendencies of the worst kinds of men and their ideal controlling relationship, eschewing subtlety to bluntly state and show its themes for a bloody good time.

Sophie Thatcher is fantastic in what should be a star making performance. She's done strong work in a couple of horror films recently but this is on a whole other level since so much more is required of her and she does it all flawlessly. Jack Quaid cements that he's as good at playing nice guys who really aren't as he is playing loveable characters like Hughie from The Boys. Just like his performance in Scream, he knows exactly how to portray a pathetic character effectively.

In an impressive debut, writer & director Drew Hancock keeps the film on its toes without breaking the momentum it gains very quickly with perfectly timed humour whilst drip feeding information about the larger world at play. Eli Born's cinematography stands out by drawing attention to the most important items that end up being used in highly satisfying ways and the soundtrack utilises very knowing song choices throughout.
