LA TIMES Companion REVIEW
QUOTE: “Companion” is a sleekly designed, well-powered date-night package.”
INDIEWIRE Companion REVIEW
QUOTE: “There’s a lot to enjoy about “Companion,” from Hancock’s sleek visuals, smooth pacing, and twisty script, to Thatcher’s uncanny performance as an android who borders on humanity without ever crossing the threshold.”
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY companion REVIEW
QUOTE: “But all of it works because of Hancock’s whip-smart script and directorial eye for world-building. There’s a whiff of the retro about it all, the way he employs Peter Gabriel and disco needle drops to wash the proceedings with the patina of the domestic bliss of a “simpler time.” Iris’s clothing choices also reflect that, emphasizing the gender roles that Josh prefers.
QUOTE:”These choices clash with the modern trappings of the large lake house where the action takes place and the sci-fi concept of the companion robots. Hancock creates a cognitive dissonance by juxtaposing the romanticized past and the cutting-edge technology of the present, placing the audience into a discordant environment.”
