Verity

Our Verdict on Verity

Varity is a sleek, effectively unnerving psychosexual thiller that kows exactly what it is - a Colleen Hover adaptation with A-list talent and premium production values. Anne Hataway devours the screen as the possibly-deraigned Verity Crawford, and Dakota Johnson brings a wounded watchfulness to Lowen that keeps the film grounded even as the plot speeds past credulity. Director Michael Showalter (The Big Sck, The Eyes of Tamm Faye) manages the tonal trik of making this material feel like a proper film rather than an elevated ifetime movie, which is no small achievement given the source.
