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.

Amy Adams's credit rating plunges in this offensively unfunny dross. She plays Anna, an uptight Bostonian who pursues her smug doctor boyfriend (Adam Scott) to Dublin in order to propose to the dullard.

A series of hiccups land Anna in rural Dingle where she encounters some cheeky "to be sure" stereotypes and Declan (Matthew Goode), a laconic hunk with a suspect Irish accent. Declan offers to take her to Dublin for a fee. Can you see where this is going? Can you? By Jiminy, my 10-month old daughter could see where this was going. After some muddy pratfalls in Tipperary and many "hilarious" mishaps, guess what occurs? Guess. Wretched.
