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.Better than Match Point but far from the heights of Manhattan, this Spanish romance is a welcome return to form for Woody Allen.
At its heart is a complex web of desire between a brooding artist (Javier Bardem), his hysterical wife (a show-stealing Penelope Cruz) and two Americans - one straight-laced (Rebecca Hall), the other sexually and romantically incontinent (Scarlett Johansson) - on a European mission to find themselves. Discussions about life, love and the Spanish guitar abound, gallons of rioja are drunk and much paint is thrown around. All hugely enjoyable and in Hall, Allen has found the finest vehicle for his neuroses for some time. No extras: Allen doesn't like them, apparently.
