At MyCompanion, the cultured and confident Matthias is available -- for a reasonable fee -- to fill any social role you desire, from 'the perfect son' to the 'enlightened boyfriend', or even 'pilot dad' to impress your classmates at Bring Your Parent to School Day. But while Matthias is at the top of his professional game, his personal life begins to crumble as he detaches from his own identity and burrows deeper into his fictitious lives. Bernhard Wenger's PEACOCK is a biting and hilarious social satire about the masks we wear in the pursuit of human connection.

Guy Lodge Variety Wenger’s script is a sly, finely balanced thing, pointedly and often hilariously poking fun at corporate and capitalistic ideals of self-improvement and social coordination, without ridiculing the individuals who feel beholden to those standards. Sep 1, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International The smart concept, social commentary and a strong central performance from Albrecht Schuch combine to create a polished, slyly entertaining work that should attract arthouse audiences. Aug 31, 2024 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending Peacock is an instant satiric and absurdist classic with a brilliantly deadpan performance by Albrecht Schuch. His is a masterful turn, precise yet seemingly cuckoo. And Schuch’s final scene is priceless, hilarious and, ultimately, devastating. Rated: A- Sep 1, 2025 Full Review Peter Bodie Film Ireland Magazine As Matthias, Schuck ably displays a convincing range of facial expressions and body language that capture astonishment, ultra-confidence and bewilderment. May 29, 2025 Full Review Mutale Kampuni Film Ireland Magazine On one level a comedy, on another a satire, Peacock draws the viewer into a journey of introspection, reflection and questioning of who they really are. May 29, 2025 Full Review Sarah Manvel Movies We Texted About For a movie about authenticity to feel like such a rip-off is quite the disappointment. And yet, there’s a nugget of truth inside Peacock which didn’t quite grow into a pearl, but is fascinating to examine all the same. Apr 20, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
