Telluride2019 Film review: 'The Assistant'
You hear him. You feel his presence in the next room. His aides, of which you are one, are ever on alert to satisfy his ever-changing demands. You want to escape his wrath. But you never see him. He’s the elephant in the building, receiving visitors, including attractive young women. We all know who he is and are certain of what he’s up to. But he’s the king and you’re an instantly replaceable flunky.
You get the feeling she has made an effort to downplay her looks, pulling her hair back primly and wearing a modest outfit. She’s also extremely reserved with her largely male office colleagues, who, for their part, disregard her, either out of a sense of superiority or the feeling that she could be there one day and gone the next, or probably both.
Green is very good at sustaining the sense of low-boil fear and tension that prevails among the whole staff, as well as pinpointing the pressure everyone feels to always deliver and not to attract attention by screwing up. Also very clear is how the few women in the office, and specifically Jane, hope to survive by not drawing the slightest adverse attention.
