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.Gosling again. This time he plays strutting, womanising Jacob, who proclaims he's a "total tomcat in the sack" to Emma Stone's lovely Hannah.
However, this film isn't really about these two, but about Cal (Steve Carell) and the disintegration of his marriage to weepy Emily (Julianne Moore). She informs him that she wants a divorce over dinner in the opening scene, before admitting that she slept with Kevin Bacon's sleazecake. So Cal retires to a pick-up joint, where he's taken pity upon by Jacob, who tells him, "I'm going to help you rediscover your manhood." Gosling and Stone are a hoot – but the finale, which clumsily rips off About a Boy, is too cloying.
