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.

Zack Snyder's latest slice of action fantasy actually makes Your Highness seem less painful.

Snyder, the man responsible for the dismal, humourless Watchmen, directs this tale of an abused teenage girl, Baby Doll (Emily Browning), who has been sent to a barbaric mental asylum by her hideous stepfather. To escape her daily misery, Baby Doll imagines an alternate reality of her own making: a world of orcs, samurais and Nazis. She has four skimpily dressed beauties to help her kick bottom. Sucker Punch is a mind-bogglingly dull actioner, which lacks any decent characterisation and is shot like a hammy Meat Loaf video. Don't be sucked in.
