Companion 2025
This was an okay movie about the implications of today's approach towards love and relationships.

Not that the rest of the crew would deliver more lifelike performances, the film is a little stiff in that area. But nevertheless there are some interesting topics brought up in the script, especially around the way we treat each other in a relationship as mainly objects of desire. And I thought Jack Quaid was likeably douchey.
