FILM / Critical Round-Up
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ONE FALSE MOVE
'One False Move is a rural tragicomedy with the deadly grace of a sidewinder.' Nigel Andrews, FT
'A good debut not so much because of any brilliance in its making . . . but because the script by (Billy Bob) Thornton and Tom Epperson keeps on showing us something new about its characters and Franklin has enough sense to let the small detail matter as much as the big. What could have been a tense little low-budget thriller thus becomes distinctly more than that.' Derek Malcolm, Guardian
LEAP OF FAITH
'Can a real miracle happen? Yes indeed. For lo, the cinema exit doors finally open before we have all passed out with terminal queasiness.' Nigel Andrews, FT
PARIS IS BURNING
'This half sad, half exuberant trip through the underbelly of New York's gay scene cries out for a cinema audience.' Geoff Brown, Times
THE OX
'This truth-based tragedy of errors makes Thomas Hardy seem like Louisa May Alcott. It also makes for spellbinding cinema . . . In sum: a triumph.' Nigel Andrews, FT
THE BEST OF THE BEST 2
'What kind of world is it that accepts mindless brutality in the name of entertainment? The answer is clear: the world we live in.' Geoff Brown, Times
'Do you really want to see this sort of watchable but faintly distasteful crap? Or me to go on further about it?' Derek Malcolm, Guardian
