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.

The internet has been awash with hot takes and impassioned commentary on Oscar-nominated director Emerald Fennell’s sophomore film Saltburn ever since it premiered at the Telluride Film Festival in August. Called the most divisive film this year, audiences and critics don’t know whether it’s a stylish work of art or an unoriginal mess.

A posh thriller, The Independent’s chief film critic Clarisse Loughrey called it a class satire that reaches no conclusions in her review. “But it’s filled to the brim with darkly funny, bile-slicked revulsion. For its director, who hails from the same upper classes she targets, it’s an act of self-excavation,” Loughrey added.

But viewers who haven’t seen the film yet on the big screen will be able to make up their own minds because Saltburn is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, just in time for Christmas. The film stars Banshees of Inisherin star Barry Keoghan as Oliver, who’s been invited to spend the summer at fellow Oxford University student Felix’s aristocratic luxury estate.
