FILM / The critics
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.

'We remain on the outside, looking in, admiring the artistry, feeling nothing; and the more high-pitched Kieslowski's scenes grow, the more we freeze over.' Geoff Brown, Times
'If Blue is about liberty, it is about the struggles we go through to achieve that liberty. Above all, liberty from the false comfort of lives we try too neatly to compartmentalise.' Nigel Andrews, Financial Times
RISING SUN
'It is one of those Hollywood thrillers that looks as if it has been made by a committee rather than a single film- maker with a vision of his own.' Derek Malcolm, Guardian
TRUE ROMANCE
'Everything you can think of happens: love, death, violence, ghosts of Elvis Presley. More to the point, they all keep happening simultaneously.' Nigel Andrews, Financial Times
'True Romance looks like a piece of designer chic searching but unable to find any kind of holding centre . . . But there has to be some centre that holds in this sort of feast, and neither Scott's flashy lensing nor Tarantino's quirky screenplay can give it that.' Derek Malcolm, Guardian
