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.

First the good news: Britain's got terpsichorean talent to spare, and Nichola Burley, Richard Winsor and their bendy-bodied crew give their all to the super-energetic moves in this tale of rival dance troupes.

The discipline and rehearsal time they must have put in are awe-inspiring. The bad news, unfortunately, is that none of them can act for toffee. Even if they could, the script is so leprous with banalities it hurts your ears. I accept that I am about 100 years too old to get this film, but surely its intended audience would appreciate more rounded performances from the cast.
