The Assistant (III) (2019)
3/10
Not worth the watch
24 January 2021
Having worked a lot in administrative supporting roles, it was amusing to see the mundane and repetitive nature of the work played on screen. Depressing maybe more than amusing, but it did a good job of capturing what the tasks and daily work looks like.

It is an incredible dry and slow film though, without any payoff, which is sort of the point or message in a way, but that ultimately doesn't make for an entertaining movie.

It does a good job at subtly alluding to the sexual misconduct an executive is allowed to get away with, and the protection he receives from the company and his colleagues, but these smaller moments aren't enough to carry the film.
