A quietly focussed film on film company assistant Julia Garner, who's treated like shit by everybody despite her eighteen hour days and tireless efficiency. She begins to believe her Weinstein-like boss (who we never see) has brought in a new young woman just to seduce her. When she reports this belief to HR manager Matthew Macfadyen, he dismisses it.
Totally focussed on Garner (it's another of those 'monocular' films), who's good, with little dialogue, uses sound well to heighten the tension (like Repulsion did). In fact the only wrong thing with this (which might have made a good short) is that in the diner at the end, Jesse Eisenberg should have walked in and bought her a coffee.
Music by Tamar-kali, shot by Michael Latham, edited by Green (with Blair McLendon), Alan Kudan sound mixer.
