Movie review: 'Companion' tells fresh, devilishly macabre A.I. tale

Sebastian Ujică

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 22 (UPI) -- Companion , in theaters Jan. 31, is a clever new take on artificial intelligence and robot stories. It reflects not only modern technology, but also recent debates about A.I. and gender politics. Sophie Thatcher plays Iris, an android built for subservience and human companionship. In the film's trailer, she lists the two happiest moments of her life -- the day she met Jack Quaid's Josh and the day she killed him -- allowing the ensuing film to justify her actions.
