La acompañante

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.

I understand it's ironic for me to be writing a review that says avoid reviews, but there aren't any spoilers in this one. Just try to go in blind and you'll have a better experience. Companion was a great ride. I have a soft spot for dark, R-rated comedies, so keep that in mind. This is definitely a dark comedy, with plenty of unexpected violence.

Sophie Thatcher does a fantastic job, in fact I respected all the actors in this one. They made the most of their characters and it was hard to love, hate, or even figure out who to root for until the movie neared its conclusion. That unpredictability made it a fun ride.

I highly recommend checking this one out if you enjoy violent, dark comedies. For me, it was much more enjoyable going in without reading reviews or knowing anything beyond the fact that it's a dark comedy. I hope you have the same experience.

Some films catch you off guard. The Companion is one of those: it feels like a long, twisted episode of Black Mirror, with creepy tech, a semi-futuristic vibe, dark comedy, and some brutally graphic violence. But instead of being just another wacky concept, it's got a story that grabs you and builds up with real rhythm and smarts.

Sophie Thatcher is fantastic. I already knew her from Yellowjackets and of course the Harness Your Hopes video by Pavement, and here she proves once again she's got a magnetic screen presence-even playing an android. Jack Quaid is also great, especially if you're used to him in The Boys, because his character here is completely different: darker, more nuanced, and with a well-built arc.

The film leans into the whole "tech with a moral" idea, but without getting preachy. It plays with themes like toxic masculinity, control, and the fear of female autonomy, but does it with biting humor and always keeps the fun factor alive. Visually it's polished, and while it doesn't reinvent anything, it pushes its concept all the way with style and guts.

It's not perfect, but it's definitely a good time. One of those films that goes down easy, surprises you, and leaves you thinking. If you're into horror with a message and a bit of satire, this is a solid choice.

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!

$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.
