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.

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.

A Worthy Companion gives a pulpy lesbian-obsession thriller premise the full arthouse treatment. Warning: You may miss the pulp.

It's subtle and absorbing, visualized with a sophisticated gloom that stays with you.

A Worthy Companion is so obsessed with being edgy, it forgets to build mildly cohesive characters.

The cast can't elevate this thinly sketched and ultimately insulting material.

[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.
