Who the hell am I supposed to root for in this? The AI robot that murders someone? Or the absolutely dogshit human beings that make up the rest of the cast? Everyone is either a manipulative asshole, a complete coward, or just straight-up unbearable.
It’s like the movie dares you to care, then punishes you for trying. You start off thinking, “Okay, maybe this is going somewhere,” and by the halfway mark you’re just hate-watching to see who gets wrecked next.
The writing feels like it was scribbled from a bunch of therapy sessions and Black Mirror episodes, then shaken up in a blender of emotional dysfunction. Somehow it’s both super serious and wildly stupid.
Best part? Matt McCarthy popping in at the end like he wandered in from Parts Unknown. It must have been 3:16am.
Honestly, Companion isn’t terrible—it’s just… kinda dumb, and full of people I wouldn’t want to sit next to on a bus.
