FRIDAYThe Assistant
There’s buzz galore surrounding this
indie because it’s inspired by the
Harvey Weinstein scandal. If only it
were more empowering. The too-low-
key story follows a thankless day in
the life of Jane (Ozark’s Julia Garner,
excellent), the put-upon assistant to
a bully of a never-seen NYC movie
mogul. Starting before dawn, she does
everything from coordinate travel to
make copies of reports to arrange
water bottles. She also tentatively
leads a parade of beautiful (and naive)
women into his office. It’s a frustrating
experience all around — Jane gets zero
support from coworkers or friends,
while audiences never see her triumph,
if only for a moment. Does she enable
her boss? Perhaps. To that end, the
film does shed light on how victims and
victimizers can be one and the same.
