Moviegoers are saying
Audiences are split, but mostly unimpressed with Verity. Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson get the strongest praise, with one reviewer wishing the film had been "just Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson kissing and plotting to kill Josh Hartnett." Most viewers, though, find the pacing a "very slooow burn" and the biting scenes gross, and book fans feel the adaptation rewrote too much of Colleen Hoover's intense story.

- ilma is "meh" onVerity
The book was better tbh. I’m sad so many great and hair-raising scenes from the book weren’t included or were quite badly altered. Anne Hathaway was great tho.
Eliza Morton likedVerityIt was good but reading the book right before the movie was a poor choice, made me mad about so many things in the movie!!!! Good watch if you haven’t read the book or haven’t read it in a while
natalie likedVeritythe only reason i wouldnt put this movie in love is because i need a year to process and think before rewatching. but 7.8/10 also the call her daddy and hot ones cameos were so odd to me
- Lleyton Coberley likedVerity
Not half bad. The concept, plot, and casting was pretty good but I felt it got a little lazy at the end. The movie built anticipation the whole movie and then end you’re just left unsatisfied and thinking, “is that it?” Rating: 5/10
Tina likedVerityAnne is so creepy she’s great at acting. I have not read the book so I was not expecting that at all! Also I still do not know what to believe! 7/10
Sylvia Nadine Joyce dislikedVerityEnding your dark, edgy, Neo gothic thriller with a Hot Ones interview is maybe not the best move?
- Chas likedVerity
so much missing 🥲💔
Miki lovedVerityI have no idea which is real and which isn't. I do know that they're all crazy. I don't think I could trust someone who could lie as well as Verity could. I was rooting for Verity until it got to the part where she killed her daughter. I wish more was done with the baby monitor at the end, and I…
Spencer likedVerityI had a ver-ity good time 🤓✌️ No but seriously this wasn’t as bad as I expected. All the reviews I had heard was that it’s the best of the Colleen Hoover adaptations, but that bar was already on the floor 😭. I thought the story was decent, the performances were all solid (especially Hathaway and…

I think it was pretty good, I read part of the book and there were so many details and scary details that i really wish were portrayed. I also feel like towards the middle/end of the movie things were really rushed
CFCarson FHad a good premise but the pacing of the movie was Awful.
RCraven cozartAfter reading the book I had higher expectations for the movie than what I was given. There were a lot of differences between the two. Just disappointed in the movie.
- OFOscar Fregoso
Didn’t have prior knowledge about the book or story. Went in completely blind. Definitely jaw dropping and intense.
DSDarla SmithGreat casting. I never read the book. I was mostly watching for Anne Hathaway, so the plot points weren't expected, but I did feel like whatever plot there was. It wasn't well executed. common sense tells me that if I find someone's autobiography, and there's this mystery…
SOSaily OrtizAs someone who didn’t read the book, I was pleasantly surprised at how great the suspense was built all the way till the reveal. Great plot twist!
