Summary
Reviewers say 'Companion' is a gripping psychological thriller with fascinating characters and captivating tension, offering a fresh take on AI themes. Sophie Thatcher's compelling performance as Iris and the engaging narrative receive widespread praise. However, some critics argue the film lacks thematic depth and has a predictable plot. The inconsistent tone between horror and comedy may not appeal to all viewers. Despite these issues, strong performances and an intriguing story make it a noteworthy genre addition.
Featured reviews
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!

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.

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)

$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.

- TriviaSophie Thatcher can cry from one eye at a time on command, much to the delight of Drew Hancock.
- GoofsIris changes 3 parameters of her voice to command Josh's car to drive home, trying to match his voice. But voice biometrics is far more complicated than that, and wouldn't be thwarted simply by changing characteristics like pitch or tone.
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: There is an end-credits scene. Iris takes a car and drives along a highway. As she overtakes a couple in another car, she waves at the woman passenger with her flayed, metal skeleton hand.
