Emma Thompson turns action hero in Dead of Winter  and it works: review
"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."
"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."
"Perhaps there comes a time in every actor's career when they must Liam Neeson. In Dead of Winter, it's the blithe and witty Emma Thompson's turn to learn a very particular set of skills up in ice-clogged Minnesota, as she frickin' fiddlesticks her way into the centre of a kidnapping plot committed by a snarling, fentanyl lollipop-sucking Judy Greer and her witless husband, played by Marc Menchaca."
On-the-ground reporting covers reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, including investigations into Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC. A documentary, 'The A Word', spotlights American women fighting for reproductive rights. Journalists are sent to speak to both sides, and paywalls are avoided so reporting remains accessible; donations support continued field reporting. Dead of Winter stars Emma Thompson as Barb, who returns to a frozen lake with flashbacks of youthful days and a late husband. The film stages a plausible mise-en-scene and allows Thompson's performance to run wild, but the thriller's mechanics strain credibility and overplay a central Chekhov's gun.
