A girl who gets possessed by the ghost of a hitman, and when she holds conversations with him, she's seen as a weird freak who's maybe on drugs because she's holding conversations with herself. That's the comedy.

The action sequences are solid, and it binds with the comedy and creates an environment that's not often seen in cinema. It's so refreshing and fun that you'll feel you want to share this film with everyone anytime you talk about it.

This is a movie where you'll feel it was time well spent, and you'll want to watch it more than once. You'll also want to tell others to watch it if they ever get the chance.

It's truly cinema gold. Definitely a movie you'll want to watch multiple times as the years pass.

This is a feel-good action movie, and we need more of these. A LOT more of these.

Highly, highly recommended!

Not a typical Almodovar film. This is more of a showcase of Moore and Swinton's synergy. Two great actresses pouring over the inevitable door of death together.

When you're young and spry, and still have your whole life ahead of you, this film may come off as artsy, meandering, and possibly even soulless. But when you're past the age of 50, and your body is suddenly aching in places that give you a hard time getting out of bed - maybe even walking around all day - this film starts to have some gravity.

I did not want to watch this. I'm 54, and I didn't feel like seeing a slow drama about the walking dead. But I'm a fan of Almodovar, Moore, and Swinton. It wasn't an option, I had to see it.

Glad I did. Very poignant and somber in its unfolding process.

This isn't The Seventh Seal. Or Ghost. It doesn't deal with fantasy-laden versions of facing your own mortality. The Room Next Door is a more realistic portrayal, but that's not to downplay what films have come before dealing with this topic, or their more fantastical ways of feeding it to viewers onscreen. This is a case of 'would you like to see Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton deal with death on the silver screen?'

It's basically that. I for one was not asking for this, but I'm glad it happened. I am happy to have seen this film. It's now my go-to when I want to see something about dying with dignity.

Almodovar, you did a solid with this. Kudos to you!

A great indie movie that I went in with no expectations. I saw the trailer, I knew the basic premise, but man, that trailer really did a great job of giving you the details you need, but skewing it so you think you know what you're getting into. Then you're just given surprise after surprise. Totally satisfying to the very end credits. The ending really brings it home with a fantastic end song. If you saw the movie Lake Placid where Betty White comes out at the end and that Bob Marley song kicks in, this is just like that. The ending of Companion was just perfection.

I think Sophie Thatcher is the next Margot Robbie. I look forward to whatever she's in in the future. I also want to see what writer/director Drew Hancock does next. He knocked this one out of the park!

If you're the type of person who can think two steps ahead and know what's coming, this is for you. It doesn't go out of it's way to make unexpected twists and turns.

Rather, it makes things happen in the most fun and imaginative ways possible. This type of creative storytelling is what makes me continuously seek out and sit through countless indie movies. To find the most enjoyable cinematic experiences like this one.

My hope is that Companion, along with Flow, both end up being nominated for Oscar movie of the year. Won't happen, but that's how much I love this film.

Highly, highly, recommend Companion. Do yourself a favor. Watch the trailer a few times before you see the movie. It won't spoil the experience. My opinion, it made it better for me as opposed to going in clueless.

Sophie Thatcher was amazing in this, and the entire cast was to me, pitch perfect. Here's hoping this gets a Criterion Collection 4K Blu Ray release. Totally deserves to be considered a modern classic.
