I have this special appreciation for movies in which the whole story takes place in a small area. Examples of this are The Menu (2022) and Ex Machina (2014). This one, Companion (2025), makes me appreciate those kinds of stories even more.

I don't love Companion as much as I love Ex Machina or The Menu, but I still think this movie was pretty fantastic. It did a lot with few characters and it makes you think about things like consciousness, authenticity and gender dynamics in relationships in a way that doesn't feel forced.

This all sounds pretty art housey, but it's very possible to watch this movie as a simple scifi drama and not think too much about it. Very enjoyable overall.

Solid movie, 7/10.

I keep seeing Takes about how recent media like Glass Onion and The Menu aren’t taking “eat the rich” seriously enough to launch real change or revolution and like?? yeah??? popular crowd-pleasing entertainment where horrible rich people Suffer A Comeuppance for the pleasure of an audience is one of the oldest tropes in all of human history???? It is a crowd pleaser! It is the bread (ha) and butter of the Western canon! It is in Chaucer it is in Dante it is in Shakespeare it is the stuff of Dickens and 95% of Agatha Christie and almost every teen movie ever made??????? “look at these horrible rich idiots and hypocrites…and now enjoy their DESTRUCTION” transcends time and space and historical moments! It is so strange to be surprised that Hollywood returns to this well without any intention of seeking anything more transgressive than an audience having a hearty chuckle lmao

"How can you tell the legend from the fact on these worlds that lie so many years away? — planets without names, called by their people simply The World, planets without history, where the past is the matter of myth, and a returning explorer finds his own doings of a few years back have become the gestures of a god. Unreason darkens that gap of time bridged by our lightspeed ships, and in the darkness uncertainty and disproportion grow like weeds."

Book Review: The Return by Bentley Little

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 out of 5 stars) Review: Before I say my thoughts, let me say that this is almost a 4 star read but I do not have an emoji for half a star! First off, Bentley Little has done it again, he has made a book that is super unique and also has me looking around me because im creeped out! So to really sum up this book, I’m going to make a pros and cons list. Pros: great characters…
