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.

Scene stealer Christopher Walken, once again, appears to be acting in an entirely different film (a better one) in Martin McDonagh's absurd but entertaining black comedy.

The unruly tale centres on Colin Farrell's sozzled screenwriter who finds himself entangled in LA's criminal underbelly due to his unhinged best pal (Sam Rockwell), a dognapper who has stolen the Shih Tzu of a sadistic hoodlum (Woody Harrelson). A violent, unnecessarily so, film redeemed by Walken's weary Quaker. Tarantino does this sort of thing better though.
