1) - A quiet work with major ambitions, "The Assistant" is a significant cultural statement in cinematic form. (Rating: 83) Read Full Review >
2) - [Green has] made a powerful movie about the ways power enforces silence, even between assistants and other underlings—people convinced they have everything to lose. It’s a movie about the tragedy of being brought into the fold and conditioned into that silence. And it’s a movie about how a person feels when they believe they have nowhere to go.

Worst two reviews:
3) - The central character never develops in an interesting way. Well before the wrap-up of this brief tale, her cultivated recessiveness becomes tiresome and, in these particular circumstances, a bit dull. (Rating: 60) Read Full Review >
4) - Exasperatingly low-key ... This is no time for subtlety, and yet Green’s film feels so restrained, you’d think she was afraid of being sued for slander. (Rating: 40) Read Full Review >
