4 / 5
Translated from swedish: Sex robot seeks revenge in dark comedy

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: "Companion" is a smart, dark, and thought-provoking film that successfully combines entertainment with social criticism – without resorting to heavy-handed preaching or sledgehammer tactics. Drew Hancock proves to be a director worth keeping an eye on, and Sophie Thatcher delivers one of the year's most memorable performances.

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: "Companion" is exciting – and fun. It's entertaining and keeps you engaged throughout.

-
7 / 10
Translated from swedish: Cold-blooded. Humorous. Even a touch of thoughtfulness between all the violence. Sometimes pretty clever, and sometimes a bit too silly. But it's always entertaining.

4 / 6
Translated from swedish: The film's satirical points aren't anything new, but watch it for the entertainment value.
- Anna HellstenSwedish: svd.se »
-
3 / 5
Translated from swedish: The ambitions to say something about relationships in general and the dynamics in partnerships, between genders and between those who seem to have the upper hand and those who don't, may after all be somewhat loftier than one might initially be led to believe.

3 / 5
Translated from swedish: Overall, I was genuinely curious about where the movie would go, and I laughed more than I expected, so there's definitely some good humor here. Give it a chance, though it's probably not for everyone.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: "Companion" is pleasant, often mildly amusing, sometimes exciting but never quite a film that truly elevates.
- Mikael Ekman IsholtSwedish: vk.se »
-
2 / 5
Translated from swedish: The thriller and horror spectacle "Companion" portrays artificial intelligence in the disenchanting world of romance.
- Sebastian LindvallSwedish: dn.se »
-
4 / 10
Translated from swedish: In the end, "Companion" is mostly an attempt at an exciting thriller that falls flat due to poor logic and a plot that doesn't quite hold together. It's a movie that's quickly forgotten and fails to deliver the suspense it tries to convey.

2 / 5
Translated from swedish: "Companion" remains a run-of-the-mill movie. And there's much more and better content to watch on this theme.
- Katarina EmgårdSwedish: moviezine.se »
-
4 / 10
Translated from swedish: "Companion" has good intentions with its concept but never quite gets there, because even though there are entertaining moments and the satire has some sharp edges, it's too unfocused and scattered to be considered successful or groundbreaking, which is what the film aspires to be.

1. Göteborgs-Posten
Translated from swedish: I thought this was an unusually successful blend of satire, horror, and humor. It's also a film where the story largely relies on surprises. The first and most important one comes a good way into the movie. What it's about, I naturally won't reveal.
