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.Writer and director Noel Clarke abandons the Bafta-winning realism of Kidulthood and Adulthood in favour of clever but ultimately vacuous storytelling.
The action centres on four ordinary teenage girls. Well, almost: only Shannon (Ophelia Lovibond) conveys anything like a set of emotions, as she teeters on London Bridge above the water. For the rest, a long weekend of gratuitous underwear shots and Pringles product placement awaits. Cassandra (Tamsin Egerton) jets off to New York for an audition and some light shopping; leggy lesbian Kerrys (Shanika Warren-Markland) steals her flat keys for a tryst in her panic room. Checkout girl Jo (Emma Roberts) is probably included to conjure a sense of believability, but it's a thankless task.
