Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
James Marsh's determinedly downbeat tale, set in 1993 during the Northern Ireland peace process, centres on Colette (Andrea Riseborough, excellent), an inept IRA terrorist who is captured by MI5 after bungling a London Tube bombing.
Clive Owen's earnest agent offers her a stark choice: face a long prison sentence or return to Belfast and snitch on her brothers (Domhnall Gleeson and Aidan Gillen). She plumps for the latter as she has a young son to care for. A tense, intelligent political thriller about the Troubles from the director of Man on Wire.
