      What did the assistant complain about?

      The hostess was not sexually harassed. The heroine has just entered the unit for five weeks and is still in the internship period. It is normal to do a lot of chores. I didn't see colleagues rejecting her. The heroine feels that the work does not meet her expectations and can leave, but she cannot change the environment and change herself. The unspoken rules of the boss and the female subordinates are the exchange of interests between adults with independent will. No harm to the heroine's...

      There is freedom of choice to have freedom from fear

      There is freedom when there is choice, and freedom from fear when there is freedom of choice. This is my biggest feeling after watching the movie "The Assistant" (The Assistant 2019). I think the heroine in this film is not far from depression, because she lives in fear of the workplace all day, and the source of her fear comes from her lack of freedom of choice. She has nothing more than doing this job. Good job is optional.

      Of course she knows that she is doing repetitive and boring...

      [Film Review] The Assistant (2019) and Swallow (2019)

      Two 2019 feature debuts from aspiring filmmakers that hold fast our zeitgeist by putting a female character in the dead center. Kitty Green's THE ASSISTANT is exclusively lensed from our titular heroine's perspective to cast a startling light on a salient social issue in the wake of the notorious Weinstein effect; meanwhile, Carlo Mirabella-Davis' SWALLOW, doggedly builds up a reductive dissection of a young, gravid bride's eerie disintegration,...

      The disguised exploitation of young people in the modern workplace reflected in the film is far more cruel than gender oppression. The job content is trivial and uninteresting; the boss is insulting and trampling on dignity; the salary is only enough to buy cold bread in the convenience store, as long as one is satisfied, find a way to...

      Telling the story of "Weinstein" from the perspective of an assistant, the boss himself does not appear but exists everywhere, and a day of work and life is full of depression and difficulties. The protagonist is basically in a state of being ignored, feeling pressured at any time, and being banned from speaking. He has no opportunity or channel for expression, and no life outside of work. The seemingly simple work is actually like the compact environment of the office and the lack of natural...

    Evaluation action

    Although "The Assistant" did not show the boss's face in the whole film, it made the audience feel the tension and horror atmosphere of the boss under high pressure.   The script written by the director and screenwriter Kitty Green cleverly conveyed the "monster" only through emails and phone calls. The boss’s terrible emotional and physical manipulation of his subordinates; he deliberately used cold gray and brown to shoot the film,...

    Movie quotes

    • Wilcock: I don't think you have anything to worry about.

      Jane: Hmm?

      Wilcock: You're not his type.

    • Boss: [Over the phone] I'm not gonna yell at you. Am I yelling? No... Because you're not someone even worthy of that. Because you didn't even have the fucking courtesy to talk to me about whatever the fuck fantasy you decided to spew all over me... So, let me ask, do you want to keep this job?

      Jane: Yeah.

      Boss: Okay... Then send me a fucking apology.
