Its safe to say Sophie Thatcher has officially cemented herself as one of my favorite actresses of all time.
But she really took it to another level in the new sci-fi thriller Companion.
No trailer, no synopsis, just my word that its a bloody good time.
Of course, I get that some people need a little context before fully committing.
What is Companion about?
Final warning before minor spoilers are revealed ahead!
The gathering takes a dark turn when Iris turns up covered in blood one morning.
Now, the group must grapple with the horrifying implications of the incident and decide their next move.
So, Ill just skim the surface here.
Quaid proves he can break out of the soft-spoken, somewhat weak roles hes often known for.
Thatcher, the true standout, takes on a completely different kind of role as an AI companion.
Shes convincing enough as human, and, honestly, Thatchers natural charm just makes it work.
(And can I just say, the final shot is perfect.)
At its core, Iriss story is all about self-discovery and breaking free from control.
But, she starts pushing back against those expectations, and watching that transformation is incredibly satisfying.
Companion holds a very impressive 94% score onRotten Tomatoes, generated from over 200 reviews.
The audience rating also holds strong at 89%, and it deserves every bit of praise.
Youll probably find yourself gripping your seat as you watch the chaotic events unfold.
