The Assistant 2019
I watched this mainly for Matthew MacFadyen but sadly he was only in one short scene.
This is a very very VERY slow paced and extremely subtle look at what it’s like to be a woman working in the entertainment industry before the #MeToo movement. However, it’s just too slow at times, and while I appreciate the subtlety, and allowing the audience to pick up on hints, and the demonstration of complicity , and the pervasive sense of dread that clouds the entire hour and a half, I do wish there had been a little bit more action.
