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.Something dark and morbid is afoot in this West Country drama, and what an age the film takes to disclose it.
Jessica Barden plays 15-year-old Marie who spends solitary hours in a secret wooded den, away from the miserable home which her mother (Lyndsey Marshal) is seemingly intent on wrecking.
Next door live a poacher (Tony Curran) and his young son, whose connection to Marie's inner turmoil is signalled early on. Runic symbols, bizarre dreams, dead rabbits and bad vibes thicken the stew without producing much in the way of taste.
We know we're being misdirected à la The Sixth Sense, but the clanking screenplay and the drab locations struggle to involve us.
