Description
Did we learn anything new from 'Miss Americana', Taylor Swift’s new Netflix documentary? Where does the film fit in the library of 'female musician documentaries'? What is the work that goes into documenting her work? The Assistant is a film about one day in the work life – which is her only life – of a Hollywood assistant.
