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.Though it claims to be "inspired by true events", nothing much about this amnesiac romance is persuasive.
Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams play a cute couple livin' the boho dream in downtown Chicago; she's a funky sculptor, he's a budding Phil Spector (no, not in that way). Even their marriage vows are à la mode: "I vow to fiercely love you in all your forms," he declares at the ceremony. What is she, a shape-shifter? Blindsided in a car accident, she emerges from a coma dramatically changed: she remembers nothing about him or their life together. Into this seeming void step her parents (Jessica Lange and Sam Neill) and the businessman fiancé (Scott Speedman) she doesn't remember jilting. Can Tatum save the day by making his wife fall in love with him again? It's a question that carries less urgency than the film-makers intend, principally because one didn't greatly care for the couple even in their pre-accident days: Tatum's a bit of a plank at the best of times, and McAdams's reversion from kooky artist to sorority square has no emotional clout. Best forgotten.
