Ryan Koggler's vampire film "Sinners" made a deserved cut in the box office this weekendBut the audience who stayed at home had to enjoy a different image of Warner Bros.'s horror image. Because it became no. 1 ranked movie. In "companion", Iris (Sophie Thatcher) and Oshosh (Jackec Kwaid) are a seemingly young couple perfect for the picture.

Zack Kreger, director of Horror Movie in 2022 "Barbarian", He was a producer of "companion". How does that picture, "companion" do Huge Glassing his first act, turning into a completely different movie than you expected. Unlike "Barbarian", where the secrets remained closed until release, The companion marketing team spoiled this turn in the film trailers. If you have avoided hearing it, now is your last chance to watch the movie unpolluted.

OK! 30 minutes in, "companion" reveals that Iris is a robot. In the near future, the company Empathix produces "companions" similar to life for the lonely. Iris did not know Oshosho accidentally in a grocery store, he rented it as a replacement for a girl for living and breathing. It is suggested He chose his name from the song "Iris" by the Gooo GoooA song about the type of total commitment expected by Oshosh from Iris. She is happy to give her ... until Oshos has set her to be attacked by their host Sergei (Rupert's friend). Iris kills him in self -defense, just as Oshosh expected. (He wants to steal Sergei's wealth and let Iris be Gal's fall). Although Iris's memories are previously programmed, her personality is too real, and the film becomes for her struggle for freedom.

The companion fits neatly into other AI films, such as "Ex Machine" and "Its". They are all about men who are looking for artificial ocation. Men like Oshos see women like dolls, so he certainly chooses a friend who can adjust the mold, and who will not expect him to improve. Iris grows into a person, not a program, is unbreakable from the message of liberating women.

But when a "companion" preaches, you can practically see the choir. The social comment of the film is correctBut recites old perspectives instead of adding new ones. However, If the film is a little shallow, it is also super fun. "Companion" is a narrow roller thriller; What he lacks in thematic surprises, complements the narrative and has a proficient comic book touch.

The anchor that holds the film together is undoubtedly Thatcher, or as I want to call it, EMI's future winner Sophie Thatcher.
