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.The whimsy of this New Zealand comedy about losers and loners is unrelenting, and unfortunately suggests that writer-director Taika Waititi is trying too hard. Jemaine Clement plays video-game champion Jarrod, an obsessive man-child who can't communicate with his family and wants revenge on the guy who used to bully him at school. Loren Horsley plays Lily, the sweet, self-effacing waitress who unhappily falls for him. With quavery indie-pop on the soundtrack and "claymation" inserts, the film wants to be your cuddly, quirky friend, and makes you feel bad for not returning the affection.
