Quick Review: A decent attempt at minimalist film-making, if demanding for mass tastes, "The Assistant" is an understated and quietly intimate look at a lone, socially distant entry level employee and her struggles with oppression at her everyday job in a film production company, shot in a nearly voyeuristic style with great attention to detail, and led by Julia Garner's subtly anxious, profoundly genuine central performance, which makes this otherwise uneventful film so strangely absorbing.
