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.

This formulaic romantic comedy, released in time for Valentine's Day, is set on a plane during a flight from New York to Europe.

Two former lovers (Ludivine Sagnier and Nicolas Bedos) who now heartily detest one another, end up sitting side by side in first class. During the flight, there are constant flashbacks to earlier moments in their relationship.

Inevitably, as they rake over the past and endure a bumpy, turbulent journey, the hostility gradually thaws. Sagnier brings an appealing mix of screwball humour and vulnerability to her role.
