Rating: 4/5 -- A film designed more to educate and shine a light on the manipulative practices of the industry we so often use as an escape rather than specifically entertain, The Assistant is an uncomfortable experience, but a necessary one. Full Review

Rating: 4.5/5 -- This is Garner's (Ozark) film and she delivers a magnificent performance, one that runs a truly impressive arc over the course of a single day. Full Review

THE ASSISTANT is hushed and gray-toned and glacial....Garner is so wonderfully cast that she makes the slow draining of Jane’s soul almost visible.

Rating: 4/5 -- After a while, the question becomes not just what kind of industry allowed this to happen, but how many people still working in it now looked the other way. Full Review

THE ASSISTANT looks at a powerful serial abuser -- at the patterns of exploitation, at the network of enablers he builds around himself over several decades -- through the at-once limited and privileged perspective of someone very low on the totem pole of his empire.

Rating: 4/5 -- A quietly powerful, carefully composed film with a lot on its mind...Director Kitty Green takes the high road through the thorny terrain, preferring understatement to overstatement, subtlety to bombast. Full Review
