As Sophie Thatcher’s Iris learns in Companion, a healthy relationship needs to have both sides working together to achieve the best results. There are admittedly many more components, but the idea is basically the same with movies — for as good as some elements of a movie might be, if another area isn’t pulling its weight then the whole thing can be off. In the case of Companion, the talent on screen does their jobs to satisfying results, but behind the camera is where things didn’t live up to expectations.
In a nutshell, Companion sees a young couple, Iris and Josh (Jack Quaid), head out for a weekend getaway with friends Kat (Megan Suri), Eli (Harvey Guillen) and Patrick (Lukas Gage) at the remote cabin/mansion of Kat’s wealthy boyfriend Sergey (Rupert Friend). However, when a murder takes place it sets off a chain of events that is going to have rippling effects on everyone’s relationships.
