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.

Steven Spielberg has thrown the kitchen sink, particularly visually, at this animated Tintin, yet it still fails to capture the sheer delight of Hergé's adventures.

This weirdly unengaging picture takes in three Tintin capers – The Crab with the Golden Claws, The Secret of the Unicorn, Red Rackham's Treasure. Jamie Bell voices the intrepid reporter, Andy Serkis the sozzled Captain Haddock and Daniel Craig the dastardly Rackman, and all are fine. Yet the expressionless faces and joyless script fall flat. The performance-capture technology is ingenious but it's also soulless.
