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.

"It reminded me of David Mamet, the same kind of cadence with the dialogue - sharp and fast moving. The story was interesting, especially the first half which really made you want to know what was going to happen next. Joseph Fiennes was the best; very dark and brooding but also smart."

"Intriguing and interesting dialogue. I liked the characters for the most part, but there was no central plot. The ending didn't feel like a proper conclusion. But maybe that was because I had got involved with the characters and wanted to know more about them."

"I thought it was really good. I wasn't sure at first: I thought it was too familiar a story, like "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" (which has been done to death). But once I got into it, I thought it was really clever, the way the set moves around. Lou, who came down through the audience, was really good. And it was funny."

"At the beginning, with the quick-fire chat moving back and forth, I wasn't impressed. It was all very funny but done before. But once you started getting into the characters, it added another dimension and I really enjoyed it. Especially when it got to more scenes in the flat and less in the pubs. You could kind of guess how it would end, but that didn't matter. Although I didn't think there was an especially strong plot, it was more about peeping into people's small lives."
