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.

INDECENT PROPOSAL (Paramount 15 112mins) Robert Redford offers Demi Moore pounds 1m for a night of passion. This isn't a plot, it's an idea for a plot - and a bad one too; Modern Love, Californian Style. Woody Harrelson amuses as the architect husband with a thing about bricks.

BOXING HELENA (Entertainment 18 101mins) Sherilyn Fenn loses everything but her head in this disastrous study of obsessive love and radical surgery. Julian Sands is the surgeon who embraces her limbless torso with the strangled plea 'Don't leave me.' What's she going to do? Gnaw her way out?

ORLANDO (Fox PG 90mins) Sally Potter's pretty and pretty dull adaptation of Virginia Woolf's novel of gender swap and history's flow provides a feast for the senses and curiously little for the intellect; when Elizabethan nobleman Tilda Swinton awakes to find that he's now a she, the revelation is as starched as his/ her collars.
