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.Anne Hathaway was deservedly Oscar-nominated for her vanity-bruising turn as Kym, an unlikeable drug addict who leaves rehab to attend her sister's wedding.
In the build-up to the big day, she makes excruciating speeches, sleeps with the best man and gains a black eye as the secret tragedies of this very middle-class clan emerge. Jonathan Demme's look at family dynamics – teary pride, savage sibling rivalry and paternal dishwasher-stacking – is pitch perfect. It all ends with a joyous, woozy journey through the dying strains of a gorgeous wedding party, with samba dancers, Chinese lanterns and heartfelt farewells. Great soundtrack, too.
