![]() As she makes appointments and runs errands for this man, Jane becomes apprehensive about her boss’s interactions with the women he works with and wonders if there is anything she can do. As the day goes on, she becomes increasingly aware of the suspicious goings-on of the producer she works for. The whole story centers around one whole day in the life of Jane, a woman who has been working as an assistant for a film producer for a couple of months. But if you’re a fan of slow-paced films like Manchester By the Sea, A Ghost Story, or Inside Llewyn Davis, this is the right film for you. It’s very slow-paced – seemingly little happens in this film, at least, to impatient viewers. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was! Is it for everyone? No. I only heard of this film this past week because of its poor reception. And, honestly, I think you would get more money because you’d be bringing in the crowd that does like artful, independent films. You would have a better reception if you edited your trailers in a way that matched the tone of the film. But when you do that, you’re basically deceiving your audience into thinking the film is something it’s not, so you end up with bad reviews from ticked-off viewers. So they market it as a more exciting film that general audiences might like. I feel like this happens when producers don’t think that an obscure, independent film will get a lot of money. But what audiences got was an arthouse allegorical film about the Bible. It was marketed as a horror film starring Jennifer Lawrence. Last time I remember this happening was when mother! was released. The result is a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes but a 6/10 on IMDb and a 31% rating on Google reviews because everyone was expecting a thriller. But the reason why? Well, if you watch the trailers and look at the advertising, it’s clear that they tried to market it as a thriller, which it barely is. Nothing we haven’t seen before (*cough cough* The Last Jedi *cough*). The critics loved it, the audience hated it. I get a look of her whole outfit and I'm not Johnny Gil but My, My, My, My,My,My, she sure looks good today.The Assistant, written and directed by Kitty Green, is a perfect example of a terrible marketing campaign affecting the reception of a film. "Yeah you're coming with me to the meeting,"she says standing up. I stuff the notebook in my purse and grab my phone. I was just drawing a dress in my notebook before I heard somebody burst in. I lock the door behind me and go back into my Other than those things, you're schedule will be free,"I say. "You have a meeting with the Obamas and the board at 11:30. "What's the rest of my schedule for today?"she asks. "Here you go Ms Jones,"I say plastering a fake smile. I grab my purse and keys before fixing her a cup of coffee. I ain't never been so happy to hear her voice. I was about to punch him in the damn face before I heard a too familiar voice. You're just a weak ass little bitch,"he spats in my face. He gets closer like he's about to hit me. Third, you ain't my damn daddy,"I say rolling my eyes. Second,I said that the file ain't here now get off of me before I tell your boss. Like I'm scared of that wannabe Carl Thomas looking ass nigga. ![]() "Look here little girl, you're going to do what I say now,"he says. He pushes the door open and grabs my arm tightly. Go try that with somebody else because I'm not the one,"I say trying to shut the door. "I mean that she doesn't have a file for that person. "What do you mean I ain't getting it?"he says with anger. "Oh well in that case you ain't getting it,"I say. "I think it was the Obama file,"he says licking his lips at me. "Oh well can you tell me what file it is,"I say. I was supposed to be getting a file out of her room but I don't know where it is,"he says looking at me with lust in his eyes. "Yeah why?"I reply tapping my nails against the door. He ain't my type so I can't really judge. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image. Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. I was met with this I guess good looking dude. About 45 minutes into work, I got a knock on the door. I went into my office and just started checking my emails. I fixed myself a cup of coffee before heading up to the elevator.
