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.

'The most intriguing film Neil Jordan has made since Angel, his first, and Mona Lisa, his most popular.' Derek Malcolm, Guardian
'Dynamic, surprising . . . This is that genuine rarity: a bold British film, bound to get people talking.' Geoff Brown, Times
'No recent film has boasted more intriguing themes and Jordan sets up his story with skill.' Nigel Andrews, Financial Times
BOOMERANG
'The few moments when the old impish (Eddie) Murphy surfaces only emphasise how lazy a performer he has become.' Geoff Brown, Times
'If Boomerang isn't exactly a return to form, it's the best thing (Murphy's) done since Beverly Hills Cop II.' Toby Young, Guardian
GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS
'An expert ensemble piece . . . hair- raising and horribly funny.' Hugo Davenport, Daily Telegraph
'The film could hardly be better cast, and the carefully rehearsed ensemble work is a model of its kind.' Derek Malcolm, Guardian
