In The Assistant, Julia Garner stars as a new college grad in her first job. She is an assistant to an entertainment company's mogul and witnesses a culture of sexual harassment and questionable behavior. The film documents one day in her work life. I would never want that job. Garner was excellent. The was good.
Vanessa Kirby stars as Martha, an excited expectant mother, who elects to have a home birth in Pieces of a Woman. Things go terribly wrong, and we follow how each partner deals with their grief. Ellen Burnstyn stars as Martha's mother, who is out for justice. It was really good.
The latest iteration of Emma does not disappoint. Anya Taylor-Joy plays the matchmaking title character, Emma Woodhouse. Josh O'Conner, Bill Nighy and the incomparable Miranda Hart round out my list of favorites from the cast. I loved it.
Limited series that I've recently binged:
Pretend It's a City - in which Fran Lebowitz shares her thoughts on living in NYC
Hollywood - a guilty pleasure - silly, naughty, campy
MK out.
