While Companion takes viewers through the strange turns of a sci-fi dark comedy, at its core, the film explores deeply relatable themes. It follows a young woman as she comes to terms with the painful truth that her seemingly ideal boyfriend is anything but perfect.
Along the way, Companion reveals more about the supporting cast, especially in contrast to how Iris and Jack Quaid's Josh are around one another. This, in turn, sets the stage for the true meaning of Companion, which is reflective of abusive relationships and highlights the many ways people can be manipulated into unhealthy connections. The ending of Companion even casually sets the stage for potential sequels that explore Iris and her world, which could take the metaphor into a more wide-reaching perspective.
