- BlooperIt has been noted as a "revealing mistake" that Jane has a driver in the morning but not in the evening. There are two plausible plot lines for this: 1. It is critical for Jane to be at work earlier than anyone to prepare the office for the day, so having her driven to the office is worth the expense, but not so important at the end of the work day; and 2. her boss was headed to L.A. that night and was using the driver for airport transport. Both plot lines continue the theme of Jane having value only when it is convenient or worthwhile to the overall office.
- Citazioni
Boss: [Over the phone] I'm not gonna yell at you. Am I yelling? No... Because you're not someone even worthy of that. Because you didn't even have the fucking courtesy to talk to me about whatever the fuck fantasy you decided to spew all over me... So, let me ask, do you want to keep this job?
Jane: Yeah.
Boss: Okay... Then send me a fucking apology.

Recensione in evidenza
First off, this movie does make a number of thinly veiled references to Harvey Weinstein.
However, do not expect to see much of Harvey in this movie.
Do not expect a sort of 'Harvey Dearest' exploitation piece with wall-to-wall scenes of a movie executive who is obviously supposed to be Harvey Weinstein abusing and raping employees left and right.
Additionally, do not expect something along the lines of 'All the President's Men' or 'Erin Brockovich' in which a plucky young heroine brings down a powerful but very corrupt individual.
What you can expect is to see a very accurate depiction of a typical day of a typical employee amidst the silent chaos of someone like Harvey Weinstein's reign of terror.
Finally, you can expect a very competent answer to the question of exactly how individuals such as Weinstein and Bill Cosby got away with what they did for as long as they did.
I mean - didn't anyone know?
Well, The Assistant answers this question - with relentless presentation over exposition: they didn't get away with it because no one knew; they got away with it because EVERYONE knew. And anyone who has been witness to this sort of thing knows that's exactly how it happens. The behavior simply becomes part of every day life in the organization, and from thereon no one will say anything because the entire organization becomes an extension of the boss's behavior.
It's not a fun movie - but it is an honest one.
