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.

Elsa is caught up in a painful divorce, and struggling to come to terms with the death of her daughter.

As she battles to keep custody of her son, her former husband fears that Elsa's history of mental illness could affect the child's care. His concerns seem well founded when Elsa (played with conviction by Catherine Frot) begins to believe one of her son's friends is her dead daughter and starts stalking her.

As the obsession grows, she befriends the girl's family, but the closer she gets, the harder the truth becomes to conceal. Angel of Mine is a decent drama, which cranks up the tension as the lies told by Elsa gradually unravel, but it's let down somewhat by the flat ending.
