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.Martin Freeman once again fronts a real stinker (also see Confetti and Nativity!). This time, he plays architect Alvin Finkel who is suffering from the seven-year itch with his wife, Ellie (Mandy Moore).
Their well-heeled pals (played by an embarrassed-looking Melissa George and Jonathan Silverman) have a marriage that's unravelling and Alvin's anxious his is too. Trying desperately to ape Blake Edwards' sex/relationship comedies, this painfully smug drama is notable for a perfectly appalling cucumber gag, some truly trite chapter headings – "Life without wife" – and having zero point.
