"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."
"Champagne Problems, streaming now, stars Kelly, 45, as an American executive sent to Paris to try and close a deal with a renowned champagne brand before Christmas. However, her plans are upended when she falls into a whirlwind romance with a Parisian man (Tom Wozniczka), whom she later discovers is the founder's son. In a paltry two-star review of the movie, The Guardian's Adrian Horton felt that it lacks fizz, adding that the mostly charmless romance is part of the streamer's continual annual onslaught"
"It was so disposable I forgot I had even reviewed it, it goes down like cheap bubbly, appropriately flat and situational, Horton wrote. Of Kelly's performance, she found it to be more maternal presence than a romantic lead, while Wozniczka, she argued, provides exactly the dollop of French charm with mild self-torture and nothing more. The gimmicks are unfunny, the romance inoffensive, the happy-ever-after straightforward, Horton said"
Independent seeks donations to fund journalists who report on reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech while maintaining free access and avoiding paywalls. Donations fund investigations into political financing and documentaries such as 'The A Word' that focus on American women fighting for reproductive rights. Netflix's holiday romcom Champagne Problems stars Minka Kelly as an American executive who travels to Paris to close a champagne deal and unexpectedly falls for a founder's son. Critics judged the film disposable and charmless, describing Kelly's performance as more maternal than romantic, the gimmicks unfunny, and the romance predictable.
