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 most stylish and entertaining family drama of the week, but also by some way the grimmest.
The children here are grown up but don't know it – they think that you only become an adult when one of your dogteeth falls out, because that's what their parents tell them. And since they live in a house surrounded by tall hedges, and never see the outside world, what their parents tell them is all they know.
Lanthimos follows through the situation – part Josef Fritzl, part philosophical experiment – with appalling logic, assisted by an excellent cast. Whether it adds up to anything, I can't decide; but it's both unbearable and very funny.
