Verity may be the perfect film for these post-truth times (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ll say this for Verity, the latest film adaptation of a Colleen Hoover novel (after It Ends With Us, Regretting You and Reminders of Him): it lays its cards on the table, right from the title. Verity means truth (from the Latin veritas).
