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.“I knew you had an off switch,” snaps Frank at his robot helper in Jake Schreier's poignant, low-budget drama, set in the near future. Frank (Frank Langella, excellent) is a former cat burglar living in seclusion.
The grouch is losing his memory and is finding it increasingly difficult to look after himself, so his put-upon son (James Marsden) buys him a costly robot to tend to his needs. The old rascal swiftly corrupts his shiny new pal. It's a clever idea, but you can't help but feel this could have been better.
