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.

"I need direction," whines Gemma Jones's jilted wife to a swami (Pauline Collins).

So does Woody, it seems. This infidelity saga is a crushingly mundane and disappointing effort from the genius who gave us relationship gems such as Crimes and Misdemeanours, Hannah and Her Sisters and Annie Hall. Here a gaggle of well-heeled Londoners, most of them writers, are looking to cheat on their other halves and fret about their "matrimonial agonies". Naomi Watts wants to sleep with her boss (Antonia Banderas), and her husband (Josh Brolin) wants to jump a musician across the road (Freida Pinto). Expect no laughs.
