A lot of comedies in the interim have come close-see, for instance, 2018's Blockers-but none has felt like a true heir. When Jane reaches out to a smarmy HR person, played by Succession 's Matthew Macfadyen, she quickly realizes that speaking out is futile.Įver since Superbad came out in 2007, there were calls for a female version of the Apatovian classic. Instead, it is about the systems in place that have allowed his behavior to go on for so long. But this is not a story about triumph over the evil that men like Weinstein perpetrate. A meeting with an actress extends late into the night. A new, very pretty woman arrives from Idaho with no experience and is put up in a fancy hotel. Jane's unseen boss is quite evidently a stand-in for Harvey Weinstein, and over the course of her otherwise monotonous day, Jane starts to realize something is amiss.
But director Kitty Green has made a silent scream of a film, which is so quietly unsettling it becomes hard to shake. A young woman (played by Ozark 's Julia Garner)-whose name is apparently Jane, although it's never said in the movie-goes to work at the office of a high-powered Hollywood executive before the crack of dawn and heads home long after the sun has set.
