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.Oh please, not another movie about the rejuvenating magic of food. This time it's set around a curry house in Glasgow, where the lovely Nina (Shelley Conn) has returned for her father's funeral, having fled the city and an arranged marriage three years before. Andrea Gibb's script gestures at the cultural issues that animated East is East, but the way this Scots-Indian family's secrets come tumbling into the open only provokes ridicule. How many bombshells can a mother take from her children in an afternoon? Marrying "out", lesbianism and - lawks-a-mercy! - Scottish country dancing. The poor mother remains upright, which is more than I could manage sitting down.
