In the film Companion, romance blossoms between Josh and Iris, a romance robot. Their story begins with a light meet-cute in a grocery store, but soon reveals the unsettling truths behind their relationship. As the plot unfolds, it becomes clear that Iris is not human, and various hints about her artificial nature are woven throughout the narrative, including her unique movement and the reactions of those around her. Through this chilling twist, the film explores themes of love, authenticity, and the nature of connection in a world intertwined with technology.
