The Assistant (III) (2019)

I felt like I was watching Myself at Work Except my Day is more Exciting

Warning: Spoilers
I work for a Professional Theatre Company doing exactly what Julia does. Her day is my day minus the Sexual Harassment. Usually the Entertainment Industry is fun even in the office. At least at my place it is. I love where I work. If I had to do what I do for a parts supply company I probably would not be doing it. Because the work Itself is quite dull. Watching Julia was torture for me because I wanted to scream at her and say, "Do something silly while you make that copy".

It's Message is great if you want to understand how hard it is to be the Whistle Blower.; her future career could be ruined. I think if I were her I would quit and then anonymously say something at the very least... I know she tried though. I don't want a career on the Production end. I am just at my job because I enjoy the Artistic world in General. So I would not be able to just do nothing especially because I have nothing to lose. But in her world it would be hard.

Visually the production itself is great. Julia is fantastic doing very boring, mundane, things. I do think the writers could have done more to hold our attention. But hey, obviously some people like it. So if a very realistic Day in the Life of a boring job is what you are looking for you found it. The underlying events taking place didn't spice it up enough for me but it may for you.
