Assistant, The (Viv Thomas) Review

The film opens with businesswomen Isabella and Dorothy interviewing Rebecca for an assistant position in their office. Rebecca says that she types very fast though Isabella is skeptical of her qualifications. She asks how well Rebecca speaks English and Rebecca says she does a little. Dorothy is quick bring up the younger girl’s beauty and even as Isabella is seeming to disagree with the supposed skills of Rebecca as an assistant we see that both business partners are currently daydreaming about spanking the new girl. Isabella relents and she announces that Rebecca is hired.

Cut to later in the day when we see Isabella reading a book on her bed when Dorothy comes in the room and strips down to rub lotion on her body. The daydreams of Rebecca persist and Isabella makes her way to Dorothy on the bed where she caresses her shoulders and kisses her neck while massaging her breasts with both hands.
Dorothy turns to kiss her partner on the lips and there are some good close ups of delicate touching as the two make out. Dorothy is laid down on her back where Isabella tops her pressing her down with kisses and nibbling her ear sweetly. Isabella squirts some lotion onto Dorothy’s chest and rubs in as she straddles her. She kisses the nape of her neck and moves lower to suck tits. I like the bit of eye contact between the girls here.,

The kissing goes lower till she’s teasing Dorothy’s belly and eventuality between her thighs where she kisses pussy. Dorothy’s black panties are still on , but moved aside so Isabella can rub and lick Dorothy. The tongue to pussy contact shot is nice and Isabella then moves to dove fuck Dorothy with a hard nipple.

Isabella peels Dorothy’s panties all the way off and kisses her pussy some more. Dorothy holds her legs up spread to give Isabella easy access to and Isabella tastes both her vagina and her asshole with loving licks. Each of these contact shots are short but wet looking which I greatly appreciate.

Isabella kisses Dorothy on the mouth next and climbs atop her thigh for a gentle grind that the camera gets pretty well. Isabella caresses and sucks Dorothy’s fingers and later her boobs as she rocks her grind. When Dorothy bucks back in climactic jolts Isabella kisses her lips.

Isabella then turns around and tops Dorothy in a 69. This too features some good zoomed in moments of Dorothy licking clit and then putting some pressure on with some rubbing and sucking. Isabella turns around again and mounts her lover’s face. Early on ok this there is a fantastic look at some clit flicking licks. Dorothy shakes her head for a little extra friction and Isabella leans back as she has her pussy sucked to orgasm. The couple kiss, with a good amount of tongue staring at each other till the scene fades to black.

This was a nice opener for sure. Getting back into Viv Thomas will probably require a little recalibrating from me on a few things. I love deep story and I won’t get as much in that department here ; the language barrier could be an issue too - though I do appreciate they speak English in plenty of their DVDs - It’s probably not fair to always expect it. I did choose this release to get started on because it feels more like a deliberate feature.

The scene length as a rule looks very short to what I normally want - I typically hope for 30 minutes or more. But I will try not to hold that against the work if possible. One thing in favor of the studio ( aside from the frequently gorgeous European models ) is that the sex is captured with a lot of lovey close ups. The I high instance of good cunnilingus coverage relative to runtime counts for a lot in my book.

And on the important aspect of pussy eating this scene was very satisfying and worthwhile. I also always like a considerable focus on kissing and hope that this is indicative of the norm for the studio these days.

My introduction to Viv Thomas were sapphic classics like Pink Velvet series ( 2004 ) though I found them a while later in 2008 or 2009 when I was just starting my G/G collection. I still hold those films among the best lesbian porn features ever made. However I admit VT fell off my radar for a good while when Viv Thomas himself retired.

I’m back to paying them their proper respects because I felt I needed a shake up in my writing routine and a good friend of mine suggested I take a closer look at Viv Thomas again. This friend is familiar enough with my tastes and specifically said that I would find a lot to like in the movies directed by Sandra Shine. I also have a subscription to Adult Empire Unlimited ( where they offer Viv movies a few months following their release) and so it was easy enough to scan the titles and pick one out.

I must say I’m pretty excited to be reviewing this one and the opener left a fine impression on me.

Scene Two - Rebecca Volpetti & Dorothy Black

Scene two picks up back in the office where Rebecca is busy typing while we see Dorothy kiss Isabella goodbye. Then she makes her way over to Rebecca and puts a hand on her shoulder asking her to come have a talk. Dorothy says it’s almost time for Rebecca’s 3 month evaluation. She’s been working on her English which the boss appreciates. However Dorothy says there are still some problems and offers to show her some on paper. Rebecca leans in and says she’s good at fixing mistakes. She advances on Dorothy and kisses her for the first time pushing her chair back.

Rebecca goes down to her knees and is licking Dorothy under the desk , but we only see Dorothy’s top half. Isabella returns and comes inside, saying she forgot her bag. She grabs it and leaves so that Dorothy’s indiscretion isn’t discovered.

Dorothy leans back in relief and now the camera goes low enough to see Rebecca’s tongue working on Dorothy. Rebecca asks if she’s doing good and Dorothy spreads her legs wider in an affirmative response. Rebecca slips two fingers in Dorothy and pumps her and adds her tongue to help. There are some good up close angles and a chance to admire Dorothy’s lower lips and her pubic piercing.

After a little bit of this Dorothy stands and Rebecca gets her boss to lay back on the corner of her desk to be licked more. Again this features some nice close up shots and creative angles. Rebecca pumps Dorothy with two digits again and also rubs clit with her thumb. She uses a combination of all these techniques and soon Dorothy is coming.

Dorothy sits up to kiss Rebecca and soon pulls off her top and her bra. She bends Rebecca over the desk and puts an leg up to spank her assistant and then kneel to kiss her ass and lick her from behind. Dorothy tastes both Rebecca’s vagina and ass from this position. There is brief but good angles here, still I wish they were maintained longer. Dorothy made some good circular patterns with her licking.

Rebecca is turned around to be licked some more and Dorothy lays in with some upward laps of her tongue and pleases Rebecca’s shaved sex. Rebecca has to hold her black skirt up to help. Rebecca pinches her puss and Dorothy flicks clit making her come in satisfaction.
Dorothy makes it slowly to her feet where the two kiss with tongue and then the boss puts a finger to her lips and then moves it to Rebecca’s lips in a gesture that means to say nothing of this thing they shared.

I thought this was a pretty good little scene. It’s definitely what I would call an office quickie though , as it was just about 17 minutes in length.

In that limited time however there was nice moments of cunnilingus from both Dorothy and Rebecca. I think they also did a strong job on the acting front. It’s a simple enough plot that limited speech is fine of course - but more than that I think the relative silence actually works in the scenes favor. Sometimes not acknowledging a deed verbally actually makes it sexier and that’s the case here.

I like the shots where Rebecca’s eyes could be seen as she watched Dorothy and ate her at the same time.

Other than being short there was not much to complain about here it’s a high quality and not at all demanding.

Scene Three - Rebecca Volpetti & Isabella Lui

The third scene finds Rebecca at home telling her girlfriend that she is nervous to be alone with Isabella all day. She wants to fuck her other boss but doesn’t seem as sure of herself as she was with Dorothy. The girlfriend says that she just has to be bold like she she was with her and this seems to calm Rebecca.

A little montage ensues of Rebecca trying on a few different outfits and settling on a black dress she thinks will send the right message.

The following afternoon Isabella is typing at her desk when she calls for Rebecca and then asks for help with something. Rebecca tries a gambit where she drops a book on the floor and bends over giving Isabella a chance to react. The boss doesn’t take the bait. Next we see Rebecca bring Isabella her dry cleaning and again Isabella sends her assistant away seeming disinterested. Once more Isabella calls for Rebecca who brings her tea and is sent away.

At the end of the day Isabella is sitting outside on a couch and Rebecca has one last opportunity asks if she can do anything and Isabella surprises her by asking ‘ would you lick my pussy please’ Rebecca is of course thrilled and throws down her purse to get on her knees and start tasting her boss. This is one of those delightfully campy porn moments that I just love. It definitely helps that Rebecca licks Isabella with a frenzied excitement and the camera gets a good look at some tongue to pussy contact shots too. Rebecca looks up from between Isabella’a legs and tells her that she’s been waiting for this for so long and goes back to kissing clit and giving her nice swirling strokes.

Isabella beckons her assistant to get up seated perched on the back of the couch with her legs spread. Rebecca pulls her panties aside to be tasted by Isabella. Isabella really sucks on pussy and pulls the lower lips as she pleases her employee. Rebecca takes off her dress, letting it fall away and squeezes her own tits while she’s getting eaten.

Isabella loses all but a skirt as she lays back down for Rebecca who turns around and tops her for a 69. Early on in this we get a very hot close up of Isabella spreading Rebecca’s pink and eating her and as well as a decent angle of Rebecca flicking clit.

Soon Isabella asks Rebecca to sit on her face and she turns around and leans back to feed her partner her shaved sex. Again there is a brief but very hot close up of the tongue penetration into the velvet pocket. Isabella sucks clit and Rebecca tenses up moaning as she comes.

After the dismount Rebecca goes down on her crush again and uses fast tongue flicks to Isabella to another gasping orgasm. The two kiss with some twirling tongues and Isabella brings her finger to her lips much like Dorothy did in the previous encounter asking for Rebecca’s complicity without words. The girls share a laugh as the scene ends.

This was another fun scene that made up for its short 18 minute length by providing a high number of quality cunnilingus moments. This was very focused on pussy eating and it was very clear from the first licks.

As I mentioned I actually really enjoyed the blunt nature of the initial request by Isabella. Sometimes porn should be direct and ‘porny’ for lack of a better term. Maybe it’s more of my nostalgia talking because I do have such good memories of classic Viv Thomas films but when I was first watching porn , usually the Cinemax After Dark stuff , I really did love the more silly approaches to setup.

Here we have one of the simplest tropes of sex fantasy - the secretary and the boss, and it’s done without much need for motivation , but ultimately done well by women who obviously know how to eat pussy. The setting and length might not be exactly what I want but it’s still difficult to find much to fault in the actual sex presented. A solid quick scene that has decent replay value and probably the best ratio of great camera angles per minute yet on the film.

Scene Four - Rebecca Volpetti , Dorothy Black & Isabella Lui

The final scene finds Dorothy and Isabella returning from a birthday dinner for Isabella and kissing once they are home. Dorothy whispers about a final gift and takes her lover by the hand leading her into the bedroom.

Rebecca is on the bed in lingerie and it’s clear she’s the big present. She says happy birthday to her boss and crawls closer to Isabella on the bed. They all share kisses and Dorothy helps pull Isabella’s red dress down off her shoulders. The red headed boss is the center of attention having each of her breasts licked and sucked by Rebecca and Dorothy who then come together for a kiss.

Isabella is laid on the bed and Rebecca kisses her lips as Dorothy gets undressed. Dorothy and Rebecca both take a breast into their mouths resuming the double team on the birthday girl. Rebecca is the first to move lower with her kisses and she teases Isabella through her panties , kissing and licking her inner thighs while Dorothy stays concentrated on Isabella’s chest.

Isabella’s panties are peeled off and Rebecca scores the first kiss to her sex. Dorothy teases her lover with a lick or two but takes off her own underwear to set up a 69 atop Isabella. Here there is a great close up view of some cunnilingus by both Rebecca and Dorothy that shows Isabella clit get flicked and pulled with lips. This is visibly wet and awesome. Isabella spreads Dorothy and eats her. Again there is a very nice extreme close up angle. More good looking lower lip pulling and kissing from Rebecca and Isabella moans into Dorothy’s vagina as she comes.

Dorothy and Rebecca kiss more and there is a cut to Rebecca on her back. The office assistant is giving Dorothy a face ride and Isabella is behind Dorothy kissing her neck. Dorothy lays back it Isabella’s lap to have Rebecca keep kissing her pussy. The camera could have been better here but does eventually get a good look just before and avert Dorothy shudders in climax.

Dorothy says it’s Rebecca’s turn and the power couple get her on her back where they pull her panties off. Dorothy sucks tits while Isabella gets to go for the vagina with her mouth first. Dorothy and Rebecca kiss before Dorothy goes down and trades kisses on Rebecca’s pussy with Isabella.

Isabella surprises Rebecca by sticking her with a glass toy. Dorothy helps by licking Rebecca ay the same time. Some more breast appreciation follows and Isabella licks Rebecca while simultaneously pumping her with the toy until she comes. All three kiss each other agreeing it was a good end to a birthday as the credits roll.

This threesome was pretty decent though I admit that the toy use toward the end took me out of it a little. Threesome dynamics are always interesting to me and it was smart to have each girl have their turn being double teamed by her partners for sure.

I think that Rebecca’s cunnilingus skills stood out the most throughout the scene as a whole which also fits the theme of the movie with her as the titular Assistant. The best segment was when Isabella was getting licked by Dorothy and Rebecca at the same time. I would even go as far as saying that this part featured the single best shot of the movie even though I might rate some other scenes better in totality.

It was once more , a little short for my particular taste at 24 minutes ; but as I’ve said repeatedly in this review , I have to consider the style difference from what I usually review ( GFF & Girlsway ). The direction leans less on plot and much more on close ups of kissing and especially pussy eating. That’s something I will always value as a fan and a reviewer.

It’s been great jumping back into Viv Thomas. I imagine that this is not exactly the norm - because most VT releases seem to be vignettes these days as opposed to features but I’m comfortable saying I’ll at least be doing some reviews here and there for the studio from now on.

Total Grade Average = 93% or A-

Final Thoughts and Suggestions :

This was the first Viv Thomas film I have reviewed - but certainly not the first I have enjoyed in my years as a lesbian porn fanatic. The incredible European models are an easy selling point point as are the frequent close ups of cunnilingus and passionate kissing. The whole cast of Isabella Lui, Dorothy Black and Rebecca Volpetti did a fine job with this one. I didn’t spend as much time ruminating on pairings as I usually because of travel and logistics but I will say that I would love to see Mindi Mink get a chance with Isabella , Gia Derza would be a dream pairing of mine with Rebecca and Jane Wilde would absolutely tear it up with Dorothy Black.

I also loved that for a feature it had a compact cast of three in every possible combo ending on a threeway. That’s not just efficiency but it’s also a way to get the most out of a simple and direct story too. I will keep an eye on Sandra Shine’s films for sure and a special thanks to my good buddy Marcus for telling me that I needed to take a closer look at Viv Thomas.
