What people are saying
Updated nightlyThis is a divisive, mostly disliked adaptation of Colleen Hoover's thriller that leaves audiences cold. The plot, about a writer uncovering a bestselling author's dark secrets, gets panned as unoriginal and poorly paced, which is the main reason people check out. Dakota Johnson's lead performance as Lowen is a point of contention, but Anne Hathaway is the bright spot for many as the mysterious Verity Crawford. The look of the film is sharp, but that can't save a story most found predictable and underwhelming.
