The Assistant - Recenzje

...the movie finds its traction in parsing out micro-aggressions and mood: a sort of devastating slow-drip portrait of the power structures that allowed a man like Weinstein to happen...

...a very good film, is especially good on power dynamics.

A quiet work with major ambitions, “The Assistant” is a significant cultural statement in cinematic form.

It is a brilliant study of what day-by-day, moment-by-moment abuse looks like.

Julia Garner excels as a junior assistant to a predatory media mogul boss in Kitty Green’s powerfully understated #MeToo drama.

The monster lurking in the corner office.

...is strongest in its silences, entirely in control of a subtext that screams without making a sound.

...the ghost of Harvey Weinstein haunts this Hollywood horror story

...a piercing look at how women in the entertainment industry witness and experience sexual coercion and harassment.

…powerful drama.

Making her feature debut after directing a couple of documentaries, Kitty Green sustains the story’s pressure-cooker feel throughout.

...en urovækkende og tidssvarende film om Metoo og det moderne arbejdsmarked.

Är det vi nyss har sett en knivskarp redogörelse för ett överspelat skeende eller en ständigt lika aktuell lägesrapport?

Julia Garner bærer filmen, når hun gang på gang sluger Janes ydmygelser og moralske skrupler med tydelige synkebevægelser.
