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.

The best I can say of Col Spector's relationships comedy is that I preferred it to his 2007 debut Someone Else. Gerard Kearns plays the sweet, rabbity-faced lead, jilted just before his wedding and now moping through single life in Camden with his two pals (Chris Coghill, Al Weaver).

Spector aspires to the tone of US indie comedies, but his aim is way off: the staging is awkward, the pacing sluggish, the background detailing virtually nonexistent. The script has one good line about "soup du jour". It could do with more.
