The Assistant

"Harvey Weinstein doesn’t appear in 'The Assistant,' and nobody mentions him by name, but make no mistake (...) a significant cultural statement in cinematic form" 

"Green (...) adopts a style of low-key minimalism that throws the magnitude of what she’s showing us into stark relief (...) The silence of this movie is devastating" 

"An exasperatingly low-key look at gender dynamics in the workplace (...) Green’s film feels so restrained, you’d think she was afraid of being sued for slander." 

"A potent provocation that stands as a defining snapshot of the MeToo era (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"'The Assistant' Is the first great movie about Me Too (...) [It] shares an understanding that the man himself is less psychologically interesting than the people around him" 

"[It] maintains an intriguing and well managed tension, and the film’s exacting evocation of a very particular time (...) will stir the interest of industry members (...) A more general public, however, will likely find Green’s approach dry and too restrained." 

"A diagnostic view of a reign of terror"
