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.Little Manhattan is a junior romantic comedy about a 10-year-old boy New Yorker who falls for an older woman (she's 11) in his karate class. Several scenes are lifted in their entirety from Annie Hall and Play It Again, Sam, but as Woody Allen imitations go, it's one of the more accomplished ones. It's difficult to see who it's aimed at, however.
The hero's voice-over is tinged with the nostalgic awe and world-weary irony of a 40-year-old looking back at his childhood, not a 10-year-old looking back at his summer, so neither youngsters nor adults will identify with him. Little Manhattan could have a little audience.
