"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,"
"Good Fortune is a cinephile's comedy, patchworked from the likes of It's a Wonderful Life (1946), Trading Places (1983), and Wings of Desire (1987). It's more pleasant than it is funny. Its director, Aziz Ansari, has offered us less of the honest, personal insight that allowed Master of None, the Netflix series he co-created with Alan Yang, to sit so comfortably alongside its Criterion Collection closet full of references (In the Mood for Love, Bicycle Thieves, Manhattan, and so on)."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech with on-the-ground reporting and investigative work, funded by donations to maintain paywall-free access. Donations enable reporters to interview multiple perspectives and keep journalism accessible to all who cannot afford subscriptions. Good Fortune is a cinephile-tinged comedy that leans toward pleasantness rather than sharp humor. Aziz Ansari writes and stars as Arj, an LA editor living in his car and trapped in freelance gig work for an app called TaskSergeant. The film emphasizes financial precarity, subscription-driven inconveniences, and Arj's eventual work as an assistant to millionaire investor Jeff.
