The Assistant 2019
This is like a horror movie where the killer never appears. In this case, though, the villian is a powerful movie executive we only hear on the phone, and the victim is every young woman who's ever tried to climb her way up in the film industry. It's a complicated, intimate, ghastly look at how women (and men) remain silent in the face of obvious abuses of power. It's quiet and riveting and sadly too real. I can't wait to see what director, Kitty Green, has up her sleeve next.
