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.Contrary to what you might think, a lot of films get made in this country – three of them released just this week; but most of them are terrible.
This one, from the director of cult television comedy The Mighty Boosh, and featuring cameos from its stars, at least features some ingenious art direction: as agoraphobic Stephen (Edward Hogg) festers in his flat, the detritus accumulated on his shelves metamorphoses into the scenery for his flashbacks to a European tour made a year before with his reckless friend Bunny (Simon Farnaby). As Stephen worries obsessively, Bunny gambles, guzzles and shags his way from Warsaw to Andalusia.
At times, the sets have a cardboard cut-out charm that recalls the old animated Paddington Bear series; but that isn't enough to sustain interest once it dawns that for a supposed comedy this is remarkably humour free. It's also emotionally uninvolving, and directed towards a thoroughly dreary conclusion – viz, that life is for living, so get out there and enjoy it. And while you're at it, stay out of cinemas showing this film.
