評分和評論

Don't bother. Most of the film feels like the opening credits, lots of shots of a PA doing what most PAs do. It's difficult to imagine a workplace where literally everyone has no basic humanity and there's such a lack of enjoying anything, but it makes for a less believable version of something that is already very boring.

I thought this was a very smart and probably very accurate portrayal of the life of a Movie Producer's assistant. I felt the stress and exhaustion of her job from a few minutes in. The horrific situations regarding sexual harassment that she has to work alongside, the difficult position they put her in, plus her colleagues' less than supportive attitude, are etched all over her face. Definitely recommend.

Having seen the other lowball reviews I thought it can’t be that bad so went for it and paid to watch the movie. Words cannot describe just how bad this movie is. I was surprised when it ended, not because something had just happened but because I’d just wasted 90 minutes of my life watching a PA doing, well what a PA does, work!! If you want to watch something entertaining chose something else and save yourself time and money.
