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.It's fair to say Robert Pattinson, and Kristen Stewart for that matter, have done an incredible job of breaking out of whatever moulds their stint with Twilight may have placed on them.
Each has consistently sought out interesting, complex work by some of the world's leading filmmakers, though Pattinson's latest project is a particularly bold turn for the actor.
Looking fairly unrecognisable, almost as much as his bedraggled turn in James Gray's The Lost City of Z, he now stars in the upcoming crime thriller Good Time.
Directed by Josh and Benny Safdie, the film unfolds over the course of a single night in New York City, as Pattinson plays a man desperate for cash after a botched robbery sees his brother end up in jail.
Shot in luridly neon-style, Good Time features original music from both OneOhTrix Point Never and Iggy Pop. The film also stars Benny Safdie, Barkhad Abdi, and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
Good Time premieres at this year's Cannes Festival, before hitting US cinemas 11 August. A UK release date is yet to be announced.
