Companion

About This Movie

So, 'Companion' is this intriguing 1990 animated feature that strays from the usual path with its puppetry style. The characters, made from this oddly pliable material, bring a kind of warmth yet eeriness that draws you in. It definitely has a philosophical undertone; the whole idea of a companion being someone more virtuous than yourself is fascinating, don’t you think? It kind of explores the dynamics of mentorship, pushing you to reflect on who you surround yourself with. The pacing feels a bit languid at times, almost meditative, which might not be everyone's cup of tea. But there's something distinct about how it conveys its message through visuals instead of dialogue that sticks with you. Not your standard fare, that's for sure.
