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 Spanish comedy of mistaken identity has a gentle tone of goodwill, serviceable performances, but no laughs, so its hour-and-a-half running time feels much longer. Lluis Homar plays a 1930s gangster on the run who stops at the no-horse town of San Hilario and is mistaken by the locals for a mysterious benefactor who has come to spend his last days there and be buried in cemetery. Homar has a faint look of Laurence Olivier, and a fine brooding countenance, but the story he has to carry is about as wieldy as a coffin with splinters.
