Straightheads (18)
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.Straightheads (18, 79mins) is an unpleasant and unconvincing British rape-revenge thriller, in which Gillian Anderson and Danny Dyer are savagely attacked by three yokels on a quiet country road, then go after said yokels with an enormous assault rifle. It aims to take an ambiguous moral stance but only manages a confused one.The Breed (15, 87 mins) is a by-the-numbers horror in which irritating college kids in a remote cabin in the woods are picked off by a pack of guard dogs. The Puffy Chair (85 mins) is a perceptive microbudget American indie film in which irritating twentysomethings fret about their relationships over the course of an ill-advised roadtrip. Reno 911!: Miami (15, 84 mins) sends the officers from a spoof American reality cop show to Miami for a big-screen outing that's funnier than when the Police Academy recruits went to Miami in their fifth film, but similarly puerile. And Scott Walker - 30th Century Man (12A, 95mins) is a documentary about the Sixties boyband member-turned-recluse-turned-avant-garde torchsong artist that explores the music in depth, but not the man. Bowie, Eno, Jarvis Cocker and Damon Albarn are among the talking heads.
