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.

Matthew McConaughey, after his louche turn in Killer Joe, once again excels as an ageing, preening stripper in Steven Soderbergh's lightweight drama.

Channing Tatum plays Magic Mike, an amiable hunk who leads a troupe of male strippers (their moves are slightly fruitier than The Full Monty) and takes lost 19-year-old Adam (Alex Pettyfer) under his wing. He's also rather taken by Adam's stern sister (Cody Horn). An undemanding tale that lacks the bite and wit of, say, American Gigolo and Boogie Nights.
