Entertainingly punctuated by horror pyrotechnics and quick reprogrammings. We salute the costume and continuity departments (Betty Austin) on Iris’s consistently bloody frills as she runs, fights and reasons for her “life”.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 28, 2025

Funny, effective, and very well executed by these actors.

| Feb 11, 2025

The colours are Barbie-bright, right down to the pink title sequence; writer-director Drew Hancock is similarly aiming to give us sexual politics in a popcorn box, but with added stage blood.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 8, 2025

Companion is at best a mean little confection, no matter how much you know going into it: amusing, occasionally thrilling, but not something with the capability to linger.

| Feb 8, 2025

In addition to being a science fiction story that fits perfectly with the times we live in, [Companion] constantly flirts with horror and comedy while slipping in particularly accurate comments on machismo and relationships. [Full review in Spanish]

| Feb 6, 2025

Companion makes its spoiler arrogance work for it, blending comedy, horror, thrills and romance in ways that generally transcend formula, although there’s still a lot of blood spilled.

| Feb 5, 2025

Written and directed by Drew Hancock, a veteran of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, it’s essentially a “robot girlfriend” movie (think Fritz Lang’s Metropolis or Megan Fox’s Subservience), but one that begins on astonishingly strong form.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 5, 2025

It isn’t breaking new ground, but the feature debut from 온라인카지노추천 director Drew Hancock is pulpy, bloody fun.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 5, 2025

Entertaining if inconsequential, Companion is buoyed by solid central performances from actors that seem keenly aware that it’s all just a bit of bloody fun. Viva la robot revolución!

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 4, 2025

There’s nothing robotic about Companion.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 4, 2025

The more interesting points hinted at – such as the power dynamics in Patrick and Eli’s relationship – are quickly forgotten in favour of a staid, familiar format that is ultimately as robotic as its protagonist.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 3, 2025

Smart, sharp, and bitingly incisive.

| Feb 1, 2025

With a macabre sense of humor and a sardonic take on what AI might mean in practical terms, the film is a witty warning about the near-future. It’s also one of the most skillfully constructed horror movies of this decade.

| Jan 31, 2025

Even when Companion simply wants to entertain you, the film keeps getting under your skin about outsourcing one of the last true vestiges of humanity to the Tech Bro Industrial Complex.

| Jan 31, 2025

Even going in blind couldn’t save a movie like “Companion,” which has been so clearly inspired by recent films of a similar ilk that its attempt at a thesis statement shrinks from banal to downright offensive.

| Jan 31, 2025

Like a lot of first-time writer-directors, Hancock is a far better director than writer, and so the film is more sleekly made than it is thoughtfully written... For a film about advanced technology, it’s all awfully simple.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 31, 2025

Director Drew Hancock kicks off the young movie year with an out-of-nowhere surprise, a fiendishly funny romcom scarefest that hits the fun bullseye and makes a star out of Sophie Thatcher as a hot date (for Jack Quaid) who doesn’t know her own power

| Jan 31, 2025

Hancock’s film is not revolutionary nor particularly thoughtful past the outline of its concept. Regardless, it’s an enjoyable romp in the sci-fi horror sphere.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 31, 2025

When Companion attempts the same sort of twists as Barbarian, they’re almost too easy to roll with.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 31, 2025

“Companion” is a sleekly designed, well-powered date-night package.
