Overview
- The film will reach cinemas on Friday, October 2, 2026, with international distribution handled by Amazon MGM Studios.
- Verity stars Anne Hathaway as Verity Crawford, Dakota Johnson as Lowen Ashleigh and Josh Hartnett as Jeremy Crawford, and was directed by Michael Showalter from a script by Nick Antosca.
- Critics have highlighted strong, stylized performances—especially Hathaway’s—and a heightened, melodramatic tone that shapes the movie’s psychological-thriller approach.
- The screen adaptation adds material not in Colleen Hoover’s novel, including a newly developed intimate scene between Verity and Lowen that Hathaway and Johnson helped shape, and Hathaway is credited as a producer.
- Practical details reported by critics include a 114‑minute runtime and a restrictive R-13 rating, and Hathaway has said she will pause public appearances after the release to await the birth of her third child, with plans to return to work in March.
