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.Designed as a star vehicle for Amanda Seyfried, Letters to Juliet seems intent on matching her blandness at every turn.
Seyfried plays Sophie, an aspiring journalist on a pre-wedding honeymoon in Verona with her fiancé Victor (Gael Garcia Bernal), a chef. There, she resolves to help Claire (Vanessa Redgrave) reunite with her Italian lover, while dragging along her grandson Charlie (Chris Egan). A series of predictable events follow in which the only intriguing aspects are the accents: Garcia Bernal's lilt is like a mad Christopher Walken's, while Australian Egan fails to embody the foppish charm of a young Hugh Grant. So banalit borders on the offensive.
