Adapted from Colleen Hoover's best-selling novel, this seductive, psychological thriller follows renowned author Verity Crawford (Anne Hathaway) and Lowen Ashleigh (Dakota Johnson), a struggling writer who relocates to the remote Crawford estate to ghostwrite for Verity. After Lowen uncovers what appears to be Verity's chilling autobiographical notes, she wrestles with the disturbing and twisted confessions about Verity's husband Jeremy (Josh Hartnett), and finds it hard to separate fiction from reality, manipulation from attraction, and opportunity from obsession.

There’s no luxury real-estate or male models to be found. Just a crummy little one-bed and a juvenile prison.

Verity is a slightly twisted yet ultimately muted romance containing neither thrills nor passion.

“Verity” is at times so illogical and ridiculous that one wishes it had embraced its trash and gone over the top.

2.5/5

An adaptation needs to take a different approach to keep viewers hooked, especially when it comes to what it chooses to reveal and when. And that pretty much messes up this story.

2.5/4

Michael Showalter directs the rare book adaptation that improves upon its source, turning an airport page-turner into a deliciously dumb thriller that’s bound to be panned by other critics and voraciously consumed by the average moviegoer.
