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.

Dream House was reportedly subject to interference from its producers.

A director as accomplished as Jim Sheridan would hardly make a film as shabbily constructed as this otherwise. Haunted house, serial killer and romantic melodrama elements are thrown indiscriminately into the mix. Daniel Craig, moonlighting from 007 duties, brings urgency and edge to his role as the grief-stricken husband tormented by the past. Weisz likewise tackles her role as his beloved wife with intensity and conviction. Some of the set-pieces are genuinely creepy, but the storytelling is so preposterous that exasperation quickly sets on.
