GOING OUT - CRITICS' CHOICE
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.Some repertory treats that you shouldn't miss this week: Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused (Glasgow Film Theatre, this afternoon only; Birmingham Electric Cinema tonight and tomorrow), an airheaded comedy of drugs and parties and more drugs; Atom Egoyan's The Adjuster (also Glasgow, on Thursday), a tricky puzzle to get you in the mood for his brilliant new film Exotica (which opens in May); and Claude Chabrol's Les Biches (Manchester Cornerhouse, Mon/Tues), wherein Chabrol turns mnage trois conventions inside out with an icy (but ice-cool) investigation of obsession and eroticism (you won't see Stephane Audran any better than she is here).
Of the new releases, Frank Darabont's immensely detailed and pleasingly humane prison drama The Shawshank Redemption (above, with Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, both superb) is at the Odeon Leicester Square. It goes nationwide from next month. And Ang Lee's sweetly diverting Eat Drink Man Woman crops up in rep across the country.
