The verdict
There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is playing 224 times at 21 cinemas across 15 districts, from HK$55 to HK$150 depending on cinema and time.

What it is about
Adapted from Colleen Hoover's best-selling novel, this seductive, psychological thriller follows renowned author Verity Crawford (Anne Hathaway) and Lowen Ashleigh (Dakota Johnson), a struggling writer who relocates to the remote Crawford estate to ghostwrite for Verity. After Lowen uncovers what appears to be Verity's chilling autobiographical notes, she wrestles with the disturbing and twisted confessions about Verity’s husband Jeremy (Josh Hartnett), and finds it hard to separate fiction from reality, manipulation from attraction, and opportunity from obsession.
What to expect
Anne Hathaway plays a bedridden novelist, Dakota Johnson the ghostwriter hired to finish her series, and Josh Hartnett the husband caught between them. The remote estate setting keeps the three in tight, uneasy proximity, and the discovery of a hidden manuscript turns the job into a guessing game about who is manipulating whom. Michael Showalter lets the unease simmer rather than spike, which suits the material but means the movie leans harder on its cast than on twists. At 114 minutes and rated III, it is a contained, adult-oriented thriller playing widely — 64 screenings across 20 cinemas in 15 districts, with tickets from HK$30. English dialogue, Chinese subtitles.
