Companion
i’m free and all it took was a bullet through the head
finally got around to watching this and it didn’t disappoint.
immediately was reminded how a teenage girl who took her own life after deepfakes were spread & how there are companies where you can send photos of REAL women and get them turning into sex dolls and how women are seen as objectives of pleasure and nothing more. when kat said “you make me feel replaceable” it all clicked for me.
the scene where he called iris and begged her to come back and promising he’s changed and things will get better…. anyone familiar with domestic abuse knows this a line said and heard all too often and it being portrayed in this movie was so crucial to the plot…
the scene where he points the gun at her womb… combined with the issue of the government deciding the women’s right to chose and their bodies are to be decided by the government and the fact the data stored in her womb area wouldn’t determined how his life would’ve been like was such a great connection
and not even getting started on patrick….
idk i never really write long reviews but i throughly enjoyed this movie and i think it is so relevant to our current culture
