There is untold damage that sexual predators like Harvey Weinstein have perpetrated upon the world. It begins, of course, with the victims, but it doesn’t end there. The impact it has on those who observe these actions is palpable and horrific as well. Filmmaker Kitty Green dramatizes this in The Assistant, a searing fictionalized account of what operating in the shadow of someone like Weinstein can do to a young woman. Hell, it even shows how a virus like that can infect everyone in the circle, regardless of gender. Opening this week, it’s a flick that will be a tough sell for the masses, but anyone looking for high quality independent cinema at the start of the year would do well to seek this one out. Just brace yourself. The film is a drama, focusing on a day in the life of a young assistant to a powerful movie executive.
