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.Imagine not having to watch this movie, ever - that's how good life can be. Ol Parker's romantic comedy combines the picturesque London of Richard Curtis (Primrose instead of Notting Hill) with a half-hearted lesbian amour fou to ensure that just about everyone should feel offended. Piper Perabo plays Rachel who, on the very day she marries Hector (Matthew Goode), falls for wedding florist Luce (Lena Headey), leaving writer-director Parker the headache of finessing an impossibly cruel betrayal into an against-all-odds happy ending. He flunks the task utterly, and, on the way, writes some of the most lamentable "comic" dialogue anyone has ever dared. Primrose Hill looks lovely in full autumnal fig, and Goode as noble Hector, once again, emerges from a terrible movie with a certain hooray chutzpah (he did it previously in Woody Allen's risible Match Point). Heaven knows what he might do with a decent script.
