YouTube. Sure puts a spanner in the concept of white privilege, hopefully this opens the eyes of people that insist only some people are worthy of help. A searing look at a day in the life of an assistant to a powerful executive, who grows increasingly aware of the abuse that insidiously colors every aspect of her work day.

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2020 Format: Prime Video "The Assistant" (2019 release; 85 min. ) brings a day in the life of Jane. As the movie opens, Jane, a recent college grad, comes into the office at a pre-dawn hour, and get the office ready for another work week. She seems to be doing a little bit of everything (answering the office phone, collecting documents, cleaning up, etc. ) Gradually people are filing in, and we understand pretty quickly that this is a film production house, with a stifling working environment and the shadows of the (always off-camera) head of the company lurking everywhere. At this point we are 10 min. into the movie but to tell you more of the plot would spoil your viewing experience, you'll just have to see for yourself how it all plays out. Couple of comments: this is the latest from Australian writer-director Kitty Green, but the first film she's directed that is not a documentary. The fictional story, which plays out over a single working day, is plot-heavy so let me just make a couple of general observations. First, the film is set almost entirely in the production company offices, and hence feels a bit like a theater play. Second, the movie is minimalist in approach, and what you hear off-camera and off-screen is just as important as what is on the screen (and interestingly, in the movie's closing credits, there are almost as many "voice characters" listed as there are acting performers). Third, the director is able to perfectly capture the stifling office environment, to the point where you get a sinking feeling in your stomach, and what I kept thinking was "is this what it was like at the Weinstein Company offices? ". Last, but certainly not least, major kudos for the fantastic performance by Julia Garner as Jane. Garner She has been around for about a decade, but this may truly be her breakout role. "The Assistant" premiered at last year's Telluride film festival to immediate acclaim, and it is no accident that this movie is currently certified 88% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. The movie received a limited release in late January and has been rolling out to more cities in the subsequent weeks. It opens this weekend at my local art-house here in Cincinnati and I couldn't wait to see it. The Friday early evening screening where I saw this at was not attended well (7 people in total, to be exact), and that is a darn shame. If you are interested in better understanding the toxic working environment that many women have to live through in this day and age, I'd readily suggest you check this out, be it in the theater, on VOD or eventually on DVD/Blu-ray, and draw your own conclusion.
Everyone: Wait, didn't you guys just kill her off. Oh wait, is that Olenna Tyrell? 🤤. At least we know she doesn't die in this one. As a Chinese, I feel a little weird when hearing Yifei Liu speaks English as Mulan😂😂😂.

Movies | ‘The Assistant’ Review: Screaming on the Inside Critic’s Pick Julia Garner is magnificent as a conflicted staffer to a serial sexual predator in this powerfully muted drama. Credit... Ty Johnson/Bleecker Street The Assistant NYT Critic's Pick Directed by Kitty Green Drama R 1h 25m The specter of Harvey Weinstein looms over every frame of “The Assistant, ” though we never see the face of the anonymous New York film-company executive whose toxic behavior drives the story. We hear him, though, laughing conspiratorially with a young female hopeful behind his tightly closed office door, or barking reprimands on the telephone to Jane (Julia Garner), his lowliest staffer. After these attacks, Jane’s closest co-workers (Noah Robbins and Jon Orsini) resignedly help her compose the necessary apology email, suggesting phrases laden with gratitude and promises to do better. (They’ve been there; they know how to feed the beast. ) Otherwise Jane, a recent college grad who hopes to become a producer, is mostly invisible to them as she washes dishes in the break room, copies scripts, makes her employer’s travel plans and fields his phone calls. The ones from women are the trickiest. Unfolding over one acutely distressing workday, “The Assistant” is less a #MeToo story than a painstaking examination of the way individual slights can coalesce into a suffocating miasma of harassment. That funk is breathed by everyone in a movie that strikingly pairs the executive’s demeaning actions with the stifling moral vacancy of the power structure that shields him. In one virtuosic scene, Jane haltingly complains to a seemingly welcoming human resources representative (a marvelous Matthew Macfadyen). The turn taken by their conversation will hit you like velvet-covered shrapnel. Written and directed by Kitty Green ( whose last film was the 2017 documentary “Casting JonBenet”), “The Assistant” is hushed and gray-toned and glacial. More than a few viewers will find it a grim, even taxing watch; but Garner is so wonderfully cast that she makes the slow draining of Jane’s soul almost visible. On the long pre-dawn drive from her Queens apartment to her Manhattan office, the film captures her huddled sleepily in a company car, a small, pale figure dwarfed by rearing skyscrapers. Her fragility, though, is deceptive, and Jane’s anxiety over her boss’s perceived victims must be tugged back into line with a steely self-interest. When she reads his chillingly manipulative email — “I’m tough on you because I’m gonna make you great” — we can almost see her spine straighten with renewed ambition. Jane isn’t one of those victims — “You’re not his type, ” the H. R. guy tells her, in a twisted attempt to reassure — but she doesn’t have to be. The degradations lie in the jewelry and stains she clears from his couch cushions, in the blank checks she types and in the nervously chatting ingénue she transports to a nearby hotel: The spoor of the workplace predator is wearyingly familiar and as ubiquitous as offices themselves. In its muted, minutiae-obsessed way, “The Assistant” is saying to these men, We see you. We have always seen you. The Assistant Rated R for harsh words and scattered syringes. Running time: 1 hour 25 minutes.
She would make the best Bonnie Parker. No need to see it in the theaters now. Just saved me 10 bucks. Edit Storyline Follows one day in the life of Jane (Julia Garner), a recent college graduate and aspiring film producer, who has recently landed her dream job as a junior assistant to a powerful entertainment mogul. Her day is much like any other assistant's - making coffee, changing the paper in the copy machine, ordering lunch, arranging travel, taking phone messages, onboarding a new hire. But as Jane follows her daily routine, she, and we, grow increasingly aware of the abuse that insidiously colors every aspect of her work day, an accumulation of degradations against which Jane decides to take a stand, only to discover the true depth of the system into which she has entered.
