Review of The Assistant (2020) by Amadouiraklidis — 06 May 2023
Pretty good and interesting movie. I've for a long time wanted to see a movie that simply covers the mundaneness of life, and while this doesn't do that exactly, as it focuses on the injustices that the assistant faces, but it is still very cool to see in action.
It makes a lot of sense that this movie was better received by critics, it certainly is a movie that requires a lot of patience and I'd imagine a conscious decision to like the movie. On the specifics of the movie, the acting was great, the lead was very sympathetic, and it was beautiful cinematography and in it's simple lingering shots.
Additionally, it was infuriating seeing how she was treated during the movie, which I take as a sign that the movie did it's job, I suppose. But still, so many of the people interacting with her were insufferable and really made me want to punch them through the screen.
All in all, a good film.
