neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Verity, an underwhelming erotic thriller movie, and now I wanna file the serial numbers off and write a lesbian, hypno horny version about ghost writer brainwashed by dominant author's diary, unknowingly corrupted into a copy of her. Who'd want to read that from me?
negative · AI labelView post →One funny thing: According to Deadline, audiences who actually went to both DIGGER and VERITY didn’t like them all that much (both C+ CinemaScores), but a *lot* more people seem to have gambled on VERITY. (This page is buggy, but that’s what it says.) deadline.com/2026/10/box-...
neutral · AI labelView post →Anne Hathaway revealed she initially thought “Patient Zero” had something to with her movie “Verity”: “She’s also so good at a surprise that people were like, ‘Oh my God, is Patient Zero tied to Verity?’ I’m a producer on the movie and I was like, ‘Is it? Oh my Gosh!’”
neutral · AI labelView post →Im shocked that more people aren't noticing how much the Verity book/movie is SO close to the movie 'Leave her to heaven" like A LOT like it
neutral · AI labelView post →saw the Verity trailer. if Anne Hathaway was doing psychosexual thriller stuff to me I wouldn’t dare to resist. I’d be too into it even. movie would end too soon because I’d freak her out with how down I’d be.

neutral · AI labelView post →just read the plot summary for "Verity"'s film adaptation, and it's very funny that out of all its total dogshit aspects, the second child being "murdered by peanut allergy" was what was too A Bit Much to leave in. I picture director Showalter gently asking "what if we just do.. ONE murdered child"

Anne Hathaway is currently playing a Colleen Hoover character who is a women in her early 40s in the 2020s named *Verity Crawford* Other media does not do this, if this was an original film she’d be called Lucy

neutral · AI labelView post →I cautiously bought a ticket to see Verity on Saturday bc it was the only film with a showing before 1pm, and I did enjoy the book, aaand…Josh Hartnett 😍😍
positive · AI labelView post →Damn, the Verity movie was so cringe. 😵💫 Nice to look at, thanks to the beautiful actors and beautiful house, but some of the scenes were so bad. 🫠 The most interesting thing about the story is the complexity of the characters, and that is just not portrayed in the movie at all. ⭐️2/5
negative · AI labelView post →Tonight’s film, Verity. Kind of a bummer. I was really engaged with it until a twist ending that’s just so stupid it drags the whole thing down. Shame, especially because I really like Dakota Johnson and pine for the day that she gets to be in a good movie for once. Incredibly interesting actress.

neutral · AI labelView post →There’s such a thing as Good Bad Trash - and #VerityFilm/ #Verity is it! Part neo-gothic hagsploitation, part campy 90s erotic thriller, it goes Full Bonkers mostly at all times. Anne Hathaway & Dakota Johnson are totally locked in. My review: freshfiction.tv/verity-revie...
positive · AI labelView post →I’m very much not into smoking (asthma is an unfortunately great particulate-detector) and despite my love of Film Noir quite immune to ‘smoking looks cool’ pics …except, obviously, for how f—ing cool was Verity Lambert?! And Mechanoids.
neutral · AI labelView post →Saw the Verity movie. It's both exciting and very boring. Best part was thinking about Doug from Mtv's The State directing Don Johnson's daughter to get frisky alone in a tub as the water turns to blood and then Anne Hathaway bites her lip, then him saying "I'm out of heeeeere" instead of "cut"
neutral · AI labelView post →Saw Verity. Maybe the worst script I've ever seen in a major film. Complete nonsense from beginning to end and not quite trashy enough to make it work.
negative · AI labelView post →Verity movie review. Non-spoiler. *I said Goldie Hawn but should have said Melanie Griffith.
neutral · AI labelView post →also reviewed Verity. it's a fun, meta gothic thriller about how evil women tropes gives everyone, men and women, a chance to be righteously evil. www.splicetoday.com/moving-pictu...

neutral · AI labelView post →I’m not going to be on this week’s @fitwr.bsky.social because I’ll be watching another movie, but I enjoyed the experience of watching VERITY at a book club screening full of people more than I enjoyed a nice Dolby screening of DIGGER for 9 other critics. Sometimes the audience is the special sauce.
