Trust the Man (15)
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 smug romantic comedy-drama is the work of someone who would dearly love to be Woody Allen, but is hampered somewhat by not having a sense of humour. Set in an awfully attractive, but awfully familiar New York milieu of complacent white media-types, it focuses on two couples. Julianne Moore (again) is a famous actress whose husband, David Duchovny, has quit advertising to raise their children. Maggie Gyllenhaal is a publisher and children's author who lives with an immature journalist, Billy Crudup. The writer-director - who happens to be Moore's real-life husband - makes most of his jokes about foreigners, gay people and anyone less fortunate than his smirking central foursome, and his insights into the gender divide are just as reactionary: men love cars, sports and pornography, while women just want to get married and have children.
