We're in the back half of the year, and while there are fewer upcoming 2025 movies to look forward to, there's plenty to love on streaming. I've been using my HBO Max subscription to check out quite a few movies I missed in theaters, and found myself drawn to Companion. I loved Jack Quaid after seeing him in Novocaine earlier this year, so surely this movie would have me feeling the same way, right?
I went into 'Companion' blind, and honestly, I think it played a factor in why it may be one of my favorite movies of the year. As such, I'll try to keep the first part of this as spoiler-free as possible for those who haven't watched, but for those who have, you'll enjoy learning about what I thought this movie was, and how that all changed upon watching.
