Someone on Letterboxd called this “Temu Gone Girl” and that honestly could NOT!!!! be more accurate. This movie is bad, but if I’m being real, that’s not exactly shocking considering it’s based on a Colleen Hoover book. Dakota Johnson just does nothing for me here.

Verity is the kind of thriller that works best if you just allow it to entertain. It's easier to discuss why it's not a great movie than why it is a decent one, which is typical of films that fail to reach their full potential. But I didn't hate it. There was enough to keep me engaged and guessing, even if I wasn't excited by the outcome.

It knows exactly who its audience is, gives them plenty of twists, glamour, sex and melodrama, and delivers excellent performances along the way. A serviceable and slickly mounted psychological thriller that moves at an agreeable clip, benefits enormously from its ridiculously attractive central trio, and offers enough thrills to keep. audiences entertained until its final revelations. The film's production is gorgeous.
