Archipelago: What the other critics are saying
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.The Independent (3/5) : 'The British film-maker Joanna Hogg appears to have made her specialist subject The Holiday From Hell'.
The Independent on Sunday ( posit ive) : 'Joanna Hogg's first film was about a repressed, middle-class family on an awful holiday. And her next film is more of the same – but it's an exquisite variation on the theme.'
Evening Standard (3/5) : 'Hogg, though a fine film-maker, doesn't always prevent us feeling that these people are not worth worrying about.'
The Guardian ( 5 /5): 'teleIt's a difficult watch and a difficult sell, but this is quietly outstanding.'
The Daily Telegraph (4/5): 'No other British director is making films quite like this.'
Time Out (4/5): 'Archipelago confirms Hogg as a daring and mischievous artist, and a major British talent whose next move will be intriguing.'
Empire (3/5): 'A well-crafted affair elevated by terrific moments.'
