The Independent Recommends: Film
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.THE LAND GIRLS were the volunteers who took on the farm work left by men dispatched to fight in the Second World War. David Leland's sweet-natured film, The Land Girls (left), focuses on three of them - the highly-sexed Prue (Anna Friel), the prim Ag (Rachel Weisz) and Stella (Catherine McCormack), who is pining for her officer fiance. Steven Mackintosh plays the young farmer who becomes the focus of the trio's desires. There isn't much for him to do but look variously furtive and wounded. Like everyone involved, he brings a dash of wit to an enterprise which might otherwise have had no reason to exist.

What's the connection between Elizabeth and the comic gangster movie Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels? Both feature footballers in supporting roles. Blink and you'll miss Eric Cantona in the former, but Vinnie Jones is the best thing about the latter - an oddly tender hard-nut.
