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.

Audience Says

A twisty adaptation that keeps Colleen Hoover’s fans hooked, Verity is a nail-biting, sexy thriller elevated by Anne Hathaway.

Verity is certainly the best of the Hoover adaptations we've gotten over the last two years, mostly thanks to Anne Hathaway.

2/5

Questionably cavalier, to say the least, in its depiction of disability and of child mortality, this convoluted dud is open-ended and more than half empty — neither field nor lake, more of a deluxe quagmire.

An adaptation that bests the source material, slimming down the book’s near-compulsive proliferation of details so you can focus on Hoover’s try at landing the psychological-thriller equivalent of a plot quadruple axel.

There’s no romance here, and the film doesn’t have much to say about the world of literary writing. The psychosexual parts are mere teasers in a clear cycle of toxicity.

If '50 Shades of Grey' and "The Housemaid' had a baby, 'Verity' would be the offspring.

I wish the sparks were a little better between the sudden love, I didn’t see the door locks of when low has episodes and sleep walks, there’s a lot of missing pieces that I felt would’ve been so much better to add on to the movie, but it was a good thrill in the end
