Imagine a young girl with the appearance of a flawless American wife from the post-war era, living with the man of her dreams. Does that sound too perfect? Not really, when you find out she’s a humanoid robot. The heroine of the romantic thriller about AI, or artificial intelligence, The Companion, which is the feature debut of director and screenwriter Drew Hancock, is still unaware of her true identity.

Představte si mladou dívku se vzezřením bezchybné americké manželky poválečné éry, jež žije s mužem svých snů. Zní to až příliš dokonale? Vlastně ne, když zjistíte, že je humanoidní robotka. Hrdinka romantického thrilleru o AI neboli umělé inteligenci Společník, který je celovečerním debutem režiséra a scenáristy Drewa Hancocka, o své pravé totožnosti zatím jen neví.

'Companion' Is a Hate-Mail Valentine to Mediocre Tech Bro Losers

Cognitive dissonance plays a big role in Companion. It is after all designed to be a feature in the film’s titular companion series, synthetic lifeforms built to offer physical and emotional assistance to their owners (or “fuck-bots” as Jack Quaid’s Josh enthuses about his purchase). These artificially intelligent machines are meant to emulate human consciousness up to a point—but they must never be aware they’re robots. And yet, by virtue of th…

Companion Review: The Stepford Wives Sequel We Deserve

It’s a tale as old as time: boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, girl turns out to be a killer robot. Except Companion isn’t exactly the typical take on the classic sci-fi horror story. Instead, Drew Hancock’s cleverly constructed sci-fi horror movie is a fun takedown of the AI cautionary tale we know so well. And in the process, it may have given us the most sneakily feminist social horror movie this side of Gone Girl.Iris (Sophie Thatc…
