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.Too original, too challenging or just too weird? Bad Boy Bubby, about a 35-year-old misfit escaping from his mother's clutches into the world, finishes a short London run today. Despite some bizarre excesses, it hits a note of unexpected warmth. Playing at a repertory haunt near you soon, including a two-week Cambridge outing from 11 November.
There's no brighter ticket around than Dazed and Confused, a dizzy, fizzy teen comedy boasting an unknown cast who are perfect to a scamp. As with Slacker, director Richard Linklater manages to keep his feet on the ground and his head in the clouds. In other words, his loving portrait of 70s school-kids out on the town is an impressive piece of cinema which still knows how to party. Forget Forrest Gump: Dazed is a feel-good movie with a brain. Speed, showing everywhere, is more physical than cerebral, and the most exhilarating two hours you could legally find.
