Our take
Companion is a lakeside sci-fi thriller built around secrets, advanced technology, and a relationship that turns deadly. It is rated R for language, violence, and some sexual content. Expect frequent f-word dialogue, a murder plot, guns, and frank talk about sex and robot companions. Best for mature teens and adults who want a twisty genre film, not a date-night comedy
Uplifting themes
Some debate over consent and control, though the tone stays cynical
Story (may spoil tone)
During a weekend getaway at a secluded lakeside estate, a group of friends finds themselves entangled in a web of secrets, deception, and advanced technology. As tensions rise and loyalties are tested, they uncover unsettling truths about themselves and the world around them.

Talk after watching
- The film asks who deserves autonomy when technology can mimic a person. Where do you draw that line?
- Alcohol loosens tongues at the cabin. How can peer pressure change what people say or do?
