The Assistant

The Assistant is a searing look at a day in the life of a junior assistant, Jane, who grows increasingly aware of the insidious abuse of power that threatens every aspect of her position. As she navigates her demanding job and her boss's escalating harassment, Jane is surrounded by a cast of characters, including her fellow assistants, her boss's wife and children, and a famous actor. With Julia Garner's powerful performance, the film delivers a timely and unflinching portrayal of the emotional toll of knowing something isn't quite right, yet being powerless to do anything about it.
