I wish I had more to say about this movie because technically it is very good and it is very well shot. I just found that it had some pacing issues for me personally and more than that, I found its theme a little less exciting. I understand this went on to actually lead some pretty big social changes and I can't really knock it, I just also don't think it's the most fun movie to watch. Still worth checking out though, just for the theme and the general acting and directing.
While there's not particularly a lot going on here that's wholly original, I find Companion a very fun and spunky movie to really start off the year strongly. It's fun, a little goofy, and has plenty of moments that really stand out during its runtime. Basically taking the idea of like a Black Mirror episode and expanding on it, making a pretty good end product in the result. Girls should be allowed to kill men, it's awesome! That's basically the moral of the story.
The workprint made this much more enjoyable than if I had just seen the finished version, getting gambling ads and having a constant add for a gambling site in every frame of this film makes the filth of corporate slop go down easier, at least it feels honest.
While not the worst movie I've ever seen, it's also just painfully okay and could have been better if anyone on the project was allowed to have a vision. I think the…
I didn't really know what to expect going into this movie, I mean, I had an idea based off the hushed words of others and I knew some general themes explored within it, but I wasn't really prepared or ready for what it really was at its core. I've sat on what to say about it for days because there's a lot I feel I have to say about it, none of which will do it as good of justice…
