- [New] | Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: Verity promises a wicked good time. In reality, it only manages to provide it in small doses.
- [New] | Chris Barsanti @ Slant Magazine
- Excerpt: Verity is a slightly twisted yet ultimately muted romance containing neither thrills nor passion.
- [New] | Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: Verity has the bones of a tense thriller, but it’s filled in with a bunch of questionable story beats that don’t prove as satisfying as the premise. The meta-plot of the authors of thrillers becoming involved in a thriller themselves should have been juicy and full of great twists, but ultimately it’s as catatonic as Verity herself.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: When Lowen is initially offered the financially lucrative ghostwriting job, she’s asked if she has read any of Verity Crawford’s books. ‘I never read a book I could buy at the airport,’ she replies, which is how I feel about this movie.
- [New] | Sarah Gopaul @ Imagery at the Movies
- Excerpt: There was a fair amount of snickering and laughter throughout the film, which isn’t intentional. Instead, it’s generally a result of the ridiculous, unbelievable or stereotypical writing.
- [New] | Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Has all the ingredients for something more audacious, but pulls back when it should indulge. Anne Hathaway shows just how much fun this material could be.
- Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: it’s the best film ever made from a Colleen Hoover novel, for what that’s worth.
- Allison Rose @ FlickDirect
- Excerpt: Verity benefits from a deliciously devious Anne Hathaway and some effective tension, but a lack of chemistry and an underdeveloped romance keep this adaptation from fully satisfying.
- [New] | Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: What surely works well in a novel has been adapted here in the most confusing and lacklustre way possible, resulting in a supposed psychological thriller that is neither emotionally engaging nor psychologically stimulating.
