We could obtain a fee on purchases constructed from hyperlinks.

Curious concerning the Colleen Hoover adaptation “Verity,” however did not go see it in theaters? I’ve received nice information: Now you can lease or purchase it on demand on main streaming platforms, together with Amazon Prime Video.

To say Colleen Hoover variations are uneven at finest is an understatement, and although I reviewed “Verity” proper right here at /Movie and referred to as it “useless on arrival,” I additionally suppose it is among the many finest, if not the finest, adaptation of Hoover’s work. So what is going on on with this film at a look? Directed by Michael Showalter and tailored by Nick Antosca from Hoover’s novel of the identical identify, “Verity” opens as middlingly profitable fiction author Lowen Ashleigh (Dakota Johnson) heads to an essential assembly at a publishing home earlier than she finally ends up getting splattered with blood after a bike owner will get hit by a cab. (Sure, it is bizarre that the inciting incident of this film is this insane and isn’t talked about once more, however it’s a Hoover film. Go together with it.) After Lowen is comforted by a good-looking stranger who additionally lends her his shirt for her assembly, she reunites with that very same man on the assembly … and because it seems he is Jeremy Crawford (Josh Hartnett), husband of the best-selling thriller author Verity Crawford (Anne Hathaway).

As Jeremy explains, Verity is unable to finish her best-selling sequence, however she’s a fan of Lowen’s work, and she or he desires to rent Lowen as a ghostwriter. Earlier than lengthy, Lowen is shifting into the Crawfords’ absurdly stunning and large Vermont house, scouring a draft of Verity’s apparently secret autobiography, and discovering herself in compromising positions with Jeremy. Additionally, is Verity really in a catatonic state? There’s loads happening right here and nearly all of it’s categorically nuts, however Hathaway makes it (barely) enjoyable.

Whether or not or not you suppose “Verity” is any good, filmgoers definitely confirmed their assist for the Colleen Hoover cinematic universe by seeing this film in droves when it got here out within the US on October 2, 2026. “Verity” was an indeniable field workplace success when it hit theaters, and I do not suppose there’s any doubt that we’ll be getting manner extra Hoover motion pictures because of this; sadly for anybody inquisitive about this aforementioned cinematic universe, “Verity” might be Hoover’s finest e-book, which is not saying a lot.

Nonetheless, I will admit that “Verity” has its moments, and each single a kind of moments is due to the enduring expertise and energy of Anne Hathaway. Hathaway has had a fairly nice 2026 up to now, and though “Verity” is not her finest efficiency of the yr, she nonetheless provides 150% in each single scene. Due to the way in which the movie and story are structured, Hathaway’s Verity primarily solely shares scenes in flashback with Josh Hartnett’s Jeremy — sadly, she and Dakota Johnson’s Lowen solely get one steamy, sapphic second earlier than we be taught the entire thing was nothing greater than a dream — however Hathaway is completely electrical because the devious, smirking, attractive Verity, who finds herself incandescently envious of her personal kids after having to share Jeremy’s consideration and love.

“Verity” was a comparatively current launch, so the truth that it is already in the stores or lease on demand would possibly really feel stunning till you recall that it is an Amazon MGM manufacturing, which additionally possible means it will be free for Prime members ultimately. For now, you possibly can lease or purchase “Verity” on Amazon and different platforms.
