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.

Aaron Eckhart and Helena Bonham Carter meet at a wedding, flirt, and go to bed: and bit by bit we learn that they've been here before. Though the dialogue is too smart, the excellent stars - Bonham Carter in particular - give it credibility. The gimmick is that it is shot entirely in split screen: a distracting mannerism at first, and the symbolism - I think it's meant to express the distance between people - grates; but it pays off when they finally make love, and the two of them are juxtaposed with remembered and anticipated versions of themselves.
