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.

Taking nothing more than the concept from Fitzgerald's mordant short story, it's a long, bloated retread of Forrest Gump (which had the same screenwriter) which glories in such profound insights as: "You never know what's going to happen." Bizarrely, none of the characters is at all curious about Button's case, and Benjamin himself is so glazed and passive that his topsy-turvy chronology doesn't seem to matter to him.
