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.

This is one of those thrillers in which the clues and warnings are all but flashed up in lights for the benefit of the audience. Demi Moore slums it as a bestselling mystery novelist whose young son drowns in a London canal, possibly because of her negligence. Abandoning her editor husband, she goes to nurse her bereavement in a picturesque cottage on the Scottish coast, where a hunky young lighthouse keeper (Hans Matheson) is soon taking her on romantic walks along the beach. But why does Moore feel that she is Not Alone?

The best way to endure this preposterous junk is to keep a tally of the movies that director Craig Rosenberg steals from, starting with Don't Look Now, and progressing (if that's the word) through Dial M For Murder, Vertigo and even The Wicker Man. Almost enjoyable in its clumsiness - Half Wit would have been a truer title.
