The Assistant follows Jane (played by Julia Garner), a recent college graduate who lands her dream job as a junior assistant to a powerful entertainment mogul. Over the course of a single day, she performs mundane tasks like making coffee, taking messages, and organizing travel — but as the hours pass, Jane becomes increasingly aware of a toxic, abusive system at work, discovering the insidious abuse and demeaning behavior that underlie her routine. Quiet yet deeply unsettling, the film builds tension through small moments, painting a powerful portrait of power dynamics, complicity, and the emotional toll of harassment.
