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.In a poor week for new releases, it's worth catching up on those you might have missed. John Dahl's The Last Seduction, surely the year's most cunning thriller, has just been released on video but is still playing in London. The Mask and The Shado w are two delightful comic-strip adventures with the whiff of popcorn about them.
If you like your horror films elegant and intelligent, the Mexican feature Cronos will fit the bill. A kindly antiques dealer stumbles upon the Cronos device, a 16th-century gadget which guarantees eternal life once it gets its claws into you. Thereafter, the poor, put-upon fellow must satisfy his vampiric appetite whilst concealing it from his beloved granddaughter. First-time director Guillermo del Toro trades in blood and pathos to create an unusually sensitive probing of a familiar genre.
