FILM:The Santa Clause
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.The Santa Clause Yes, I loathed Home Improvement too, but when you see that dull sitcom's star Tim Allen on the big screen, you know that's where he belongs. The plot is a spaghetti junction of twisted logic in which Allen, as a divorced father, dons a Santa Claus suit (right) and finds himself sprouting silver whiskers and a beer belly. Against the odds, this looks like being the most winning comedy of the season.
Living in Oblivion An affectionate but scathing insight into the chaos that is independent film-making. Steve Buscemi seems forever on the verge of epilepsy as the harrassed director, but the excellent James Le Gros is most memorable as a preening primadonna.
La Haine Powerhouse thriller set amongst the labyrinths of a Parisian housing estate recovering from a riot. The writer and director Mathieu Kassovitz is unsparing in his indictment of a brutal police regime.
