The Assistant follows one day in the life of Jane (Emmy® Award winner Julia Garner, Ozark), a recent college graduate and aspiring film producer, who has recently landed her dream job as a junior assistant to a powerful entertainment mogul. But as Jane follows her daily routine, she, and we, grow increasingly aware of the abuse that insidiously colors every aspect of her workday, 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. Also starring Matthew Macfadyen (Succession), The Assistant is "a powerful movie about the ways power enforces silence" (Vanity Fair).

Bianca Garner

Tension is built by having the camera slowly close in on Garner’s face, and she manages to convey so much with the simple action of biting her lip or closing her eyes. This isn’t a film with a big showy off performance...

The Assistant is also relatable anyone who has ever had a job description vague enough to become the office task dumpster...

The Assistant is an absolute must-watch...

Sexual harassment in the workplace (in this case, a production company) is not shown explicitly. Rather, it is assessed through the anxieties of one young woman who works there, played brilliantly by Julia Garner.

Writer-director Kitty Green expertly crafts a culture of fear that permeates every inch of the frame... and holds up a damning mirror to the film industry in this impressive and incendiary feature.
