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.Lance Clayton (Robin Williams) is a failed author who scrapes by teaching a handful of uninterested kids how to write poetry.
He is also struggling to connect with his son Kyle, a teenager so unpleasant, he makes Harry Enfield's Kevin look like Little Lord Fauntleroy. Following an unfortunate accident, Lance has the chance to resurrect his son's image and in doing so garner the literary attention he has always craved. The darkly comic script remains relentless throughout, and refuses to cop out. While Williams's movies these days fail to generate the excitement of the man in his pomp, he puts in a lovely subdued turn as the browbeaten parent struggling to cope.
