What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are split on this adaptation, with many finding the story of a ghostwriter uncovering a deadly secret to be surprisingly dull and unoriginal. The cast, especially a sharp Anne Hathaway as Verity Crawford, and some stylish visuals get praise, but the low-energy pacing and a plot that feels predictable drag it down. Dakota Johnson's performance as Lowen Ashleigh is divisive, and the ending doesn't land for most. It's a slick-looking film where the pieces don't quite come together.
