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.

The third instalment of Stieg Larsson's Millennium series picks up where the last left off. Lisbeth (Noomi Rapace) is to be tried for the attempted murder of her father (Georgi Staykov) and it's up to investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) to prove her innocence.

Rapace gives another stunning performance as Lisbeth, fragile and resilient in turns. Sadly, the film lacks the adrenaline-fuelled rush of its predecessors, soon slumping into a courtroom drama-cum-conspiracy thriller. Its only saving grace, apart from Rapace, is to provide audiences with a satisfactory conclusion.
