"The Assistant": Movie Review
The Me Too movement is a determined platform, directed at the enduring systematic problems plagued by the rich and powerful. Most notably, the roots of these affairs are hardly explored, and director Kitty Green's attempt to dissect the shortcomings of the human condition in her new film, "The Assistant", is mostly a wonderful idea accompanied by a chilling subject matter, that is sadly forfeited with a poor script.
Jane (Julia Garner) a recent graduate of Northwestern, starts to unravel a well kept secret at her newly employed company.
It's certainly a drab film style for Green, whose effort to land grounded realism, falls outrageously short. Instead, the majority of characters become a noticable distraction, hindering the stories heavy message.
Garner's performance is engaging and the material is intriguing, but "The Assistant" fails to elevate above its paper thin characters and contrived dialogue.
