I like Eddington a lot but it's overstuffed and just shy of great. Definitely cracks my top 10, probably not my top five. Companion isn't a particular artsy choice or anything, but I just really had a blast with it.
I gotta say I do not understand the universal praise this movie has gotten. I thought it was a fun time at the theater and haven’t thought much about it since. Sitting at #16 for me right now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I guess it's 3 for me behind One Battle and Eddington. A lot of the 2025 movies that I've seen (not many) have stunk.
Lots of stuff I still need to see. Avatar in late December, One Battle, Black Phone 2, Predator Badlands, Keeper...
Weapons, Left Handed Girl, Sentimental Value, Bring Her Back, Friendship, One Battle After Another, Bugonia, A Useful Ghost, Lurker, Companion, Sinners, Together, One of Them Days, Final Destination Bloodlines, Ugly Stepsister A solid top 15, good year for movies
