A-
Tightly written and sensitively rendered, the devastating film is propelled by masterful performances, led by a bewitching Wood in the role she was born to play. Go to Full Review Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter 09/13/2017
A Worthy Companion gives a pulpy lesbian-obsession thriller premise the full arthouse treatment. Warning: You may miss the pulp. Go to Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety 09/13/2017
It's subtle and absorbing, visualized with a sophisticated gloom that stays with you. Go to Full Review Jorge Ignacio Castillo The Canadian Crew 01/28/2020
2/5
A Worthy Companion is so obsessed with being edgy, it forgets to build mildly cohesive characters. Go to Full Review Angelo Muredda Cinema Scope 11/09/2017
The cast can't elevate this thinly sketched and ultimately insulting material. Go to Full Review Norman Wilner NOW Toronto 09/14/2017
2/5
[Jason] Sanchez's script telegraphs every plot development and makes a crucial error in perspective by focusing on [Evan Rachel] Wood's Laura instead of [Julia Sarah] Stone's Eva. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

09/24/2017 Within the first fifteen minutes of 'A Worthy Companion', an emotionally damaged 30-year-old cleaning lady (Evan Rachel Wood, channeling Kristen Stewart for some reason) openly flirts with a 16-year-old girl, whom she eventually convinces to run away with her...and things just get ickier from there. Sure, this unpleasant indie drama from writing/directing duo Carlos and Jason Sanchez offers Wood plenty of scenery to chew on (and in fairness to the talented 'Westworld' actress she makes the most of this dicey material). Ultimately, though, lazy plotting and a truly off-putting protagonist prevent the audience from developing much interest (much less sympathy) for the latter's fate. See more Read all reviews
