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.

Bunny boilers ahoy. This lame and laughable stalker-thriller makes Fatal Attraction look thoughtful.

Idris Elba plays an alpha-male LA exec who, despite the wife and kid and perfect marital home, becomes the object of devoted attention to a new office temp (Ali Larter). As soon as she says, "I think you'll find I'm not your typical temp," he ought to have called security, but the man's a fool – does he not even spot Larter's disconcerting resemblance to Heather Mills? Mind you, Beyoncé Knowles as his wronged wife is pretty scary, too, glaring like Medusa and coming on like Tyson for the climactic cat-fight: "I'm gonna wipe the floor with yo' skinny ass!" I think she's taking empowerment a bit too far.
