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.Pixar may reign supreme, but if it's in need of competition it might just cast an eye over the French team, led by Christian Volckman, that put together this amazing-looking graphic thriller. Based on the motion-capture technique, which accurately mimics an actor's movements and then projects them into animated 3D, this is also notable for being composed in a high-contrast black and white that makes the setting - a Paris of floating steel and glass, c2054 - look spectacular.
Less impressive is the script, a sliver of sci-fi fustian about biogenic experiments that filches from Minority Report and other ideas of Philip K Dick. All the same, the producers persuaded a good cast (Daniel Craig, Catherine McCormack, Ian Holm, Jonathan Pryce) to do the voice work.
