In recent years, the world of robots in cinema has become more interesting, strange and cruel than so far. Especially, which is associated with more internal and daily use. From M3gan (2022), which studied in self -awareness AI with a dark turn, Alice (2024), which showed the most dangerous sights of the prerequisite. The truth is that the idea that day is a day -it can become a threat, everywhere. But Companion does more than to explore In the possibility of lack of control in order to investigate the consequences of its improper use.
This, thanks to the director, Drew Hankoku, is more creative and less obvious, with an increase in his dilemma. The script – which the director also writes – follows the character of Josh (Jack Kueid, from Boys), a person who lives in obvious ideal relationships with a rainbow shell (Sophie Thatcher, from Heretical) She fits into the conservative ideal of an ideal woman, so she always looks beautiful, smiles and is convinced of the need to worship her partner. Something, which satisfies Josh’s most controlling and aggressive side. Certainly, This is a painful dynamics that indicates an ominous script that can only become worse.
This is exactly what happens when the couple travels to spend a weekend in the company of a group of friends. Which includes Kat (Megan Suri), the ex -girlfriend of Josh and her current groom, Sergey (friend Rupert). As expected, the tension is immediately inconvenient for everyone. In particular, since what hides Josh is revealed in all his gloomy capabilities and becomes more obvious that everyone is going to face a danger with which no one is ready to deal with.
But outside its central conflict, Companion Combine a Thriller Unknown, p Slasher and intelligence technological terror. To show this, we leave you three good reasons to see the tape. About his careful visual care, as the script plays with the expectations of the public. A set of reasons to enjoy the ingenious ribbon, which becomes more gloomy every time. Of course, eThis analysis contains spoilers, so you do not read below, if you do not want to know the specific details of the plot.
The idea of cyber is a reinforcement invented
Most of the success in the approach CompanionIt is in its ability to undermine what has been noted about androids and anthropomorphic artificial intelligence so far. Therefore, before deepening the script of an aggressive, uncontrollable or unsuccessful necessity, he shows it during his highest point. So the weight of the premise, It is in the improper use of Josh from the mechanism at his disposal.
This is none other than IRIS, the state is a main sexual doll, which, in addition to satisfying the erotic needs of its owner, also meets various fantasies in other areas. To show a similar script, the director of the photograph of Eli Born gives the film another atmosphere before and after the secret of Iris is revealed. The visual decision, which goes from lighting, makeup and actress costumes, to the context that surrounds the obvious happy pair. The film is a special care, showing that Josh’s desire to control He made his interlocutor in strict aesthetic and behavioral standards.

All this will ultimately break when IRIS will become a tool for the perverted revenge of your user. The production of the tape is especially careful, increasing the method of IRIS interaction with the environment. So much when he achieves his main goal – being the perfect girl Josh – As when it becomes an uncontrollable mechanism to kill.
Scenario that avoids common places

With the fury of science fiction of interest in a person of life created by a person, the idea of a murderous robot is not new or original. Thus, Drew Hankok is trying to provide updated air on this topic and reaches it, exploring the possibility of a chain of errors that lead to a catastrophe. Unlike M3gan And his consciousness of awakening, the rainbow shell is perfectly consistent with Josh’s intentions to carry out violence and kill. So, at least during the dispute, This is just a tool that performs a very specific task.
Until this deformation in its main recommendations will allow you to gain experience and actually begin to think about yourself. In a very similar way as Alex Garland did in Ex MachinaThe tape neatly promotes uncomfortable regions of its premise. Something, which covers the fact of converting the most advanced technologies, at a step to destroy a person and his environment. The tape plays the topic, not too deeply deepening. But you are careful That this approach is not superficial, although easier than it should.

So soon it becomes clearer than when -liba, that the rainbow shell is more complex and, therefore, more dangerous than it could be assumed. Sophie Thatcher does a fantastic work, providing his character with a series of nuances, which step by step become more claims. Much more when this finally indicates that there is part of the rainbow shell that is unknown For your user, and this is fair, the turning point for what will happen later.
This is not a simple film, even if it may seem

The second half of the tape is directly focused on how Iris becomes a mechanism intended for destruction. But, in addition, in a series of nuances about the use of artificial intelligence. Gradually, it is obvious that the iris is much more than the consequence of use that they use from it than a dangerous technology for necessity. The script is a special concern to indicate the fact that everything that Iris does is a consequence of Josh’s intentions. And this is from this, he eventually became a risk even for himself.
So, for its end – smart, brilliant and well -raised –Companion He left something clear. The technology is actually not a danger in the midst of a series of violent situations that will occur, but the human mind standing behind it.The most frightening message that can be expected from the usual appearance.
