The Independent Recommends: Film
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.ZERO EFFECT is the furiously funny debut from the 22-year-old writer-director Jake Kasdan (son of Lawrence). Bill Pullman turns in a jubilant performance as Dary Zero, the world's greatest private investigator and a Howard Hughes-style recluse to boot. He is at his most bewitching when his raging energy is muzzled beneath a veneer of respectability - you catch his speed-freak eyes twinkling and his mouth contorting into a lopsided smile and you know that the monster inside him is a breath away from combusting.
On general release
Rush to see The Adventures of Robin Hood, which is re-released to mark its 60th anniversary. Errol Flynn (above) is dashing, and the picture has a fizzy flair that is absent from many modern adventure movies. I'm not saying they don't make them like this anymore, but as an antidote to a blockbuster such as Armageddon, this is just the ticket.
