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.Stephen Rea plays one of the most bizarre roles of his career in Stuart Gordon's low-budget curio.
He's a vagrant who gets knocked over by a nurse (Mena Suvari) when her car loses control; he ends up stuck halfway through her windscreen and she leaves him in her garage overnight, hoping he'll snuff it. But when the accident victim proves hardier than expected, a macabre black comedy evolves from Rea's desperate efforts to extricate himself from the car – and her efforts to hush up the calamity. That it's based on a true story is astonishing; her callousness would be outrageous in any circumstances, but the fact she's a qualified nurse makes it only more so. The look of the film is seedy, but its sheer unlikeliness becomes weirdly compelling.
