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.This calculating, trashy teen fantasy is set in a New England prep school where the four coollest pupils have a secret. They're all wizards, and their ancestors suffered "brutal witch-huntings" in the 17th century - although those witch-huntings weren't brutal enough, considering that these over-privileged lunks are still swanning around, using their magic to open doors and peek up girls' skirts.
The Covenant is more of an MTV boy-band video than a film. The plotting and dialogue are diabolical, and the interchangeable stars were all cast, not for their limited acting abilities, but for how well-defined their pecs and abs would look in the worryingly frequent swimming-pool scenes. Bring back Harry Potter.
