Movie: Companion (2025)

Director: Drew Hancock

Watched: February 21, 2025

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thoughts: Oh, the horror of being tied to a chair and told you are but a robot. Everything about you, your emotions, your memories, is nothing more than programming. I decided to watch this movie because I saw a clip of the beginning scene where Iris says her two brief transcendent moments were when she met Josh and when she killed him.
What I liked: The movie was fun. I really liked Sophie Tatcher’s acting. She sold that subtle uncanny valley feeling from her sometimes monotone voice and sometimes sort of awkward movements.
What I disliked: I think if giving this sort of robots full autonomy was that easy and quick this would be a totally different movie. It felt too convenient.
