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.

Michael Showalter is way outside his comfort zone with his adaptation of the Colleen Hoover novel. His film just isn’t any fun.

"Verity" is both a writing exercise and a movie gone off the rails.

Verity starts as a delicious thriller, but it ends up leaving a bad taste in your mouth.

"Is that a field?" asks Dakota Johnson’s character, looking out the window at a large, frozen lake. This is a stupid movie.

2/5

Whilst commensurately better written than its source novel, Verity remains a tepid rendering of what could have been a ghastly but entertaining neo-noir, erotic thriller centered on two femme fatales.

Kept fairly true to the book and the characters were casted well. The chemistry between the actors was great! Was not disappointed.
