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.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Brian Geraghty (the quiet one of The Hurt Locker trio) plays Davy, a shy office temp and aspiring writer who goes on the road with his extrovert brother (Kel O'Neill) and finds his short stories underwhelming bookstore audiences right across middle America. One night in a motel Davy takes a random phonecall and finds himself getting hot and heavy on the line with a woman called Nicole, eventually confessing to her that she's the closest to a girlfriend he's ever had. Alvarez overuses long shots for one-on-one conversations, and stretches plausibility to breaking-point. But Geraghty as the awkward, lovelorn soul is outstanding, and the film contrives an absolute doozy of a twist ending.
