Verity ending explained- which is true ‘letters’ or 'manuscripts'?
(Spoilers ahead)
The movie follows Lowen Ashleigh, played by Dakota Johnson, who is hired to finish a book series by Verity Crawford, played by Anne Hathaway.
After moving into Verity's home, Lowen discovers a disturbing manuscript that appears to reveal Verity's darkest secrets. It claims that Verity was obsessed with her husband and hated her children and was responsible for the death of her daughter Harper.
Lowen eventually shows the manuscript to Verity's husband, Jeremy, played by Josh Hartnett. Jeremy confronts Verity and kills her. He and Lowen then make her death look like an accident.
Months later, Lowen discovers a hidden letter from Verity. The letter claims that the disturbing manuscript was actually a writing exercise and that Jeremy had drugged Verity and caused the car accident that left her apparently incapacitated.
The letter suggests that Verity had been pretending to be unable to move because she was afraid of Jeremy. Lowen hides the letter.

And that leaves viewers with the biggest question of all: Which story was true? The ending does not give a clear answer, leaving fans to decide whether they believe the disturbing manuscript or Verity’s final letter. The mystery has sparked the “Team Manuscript” versus “Team Letter” debate among fans since the book was published in 2018.
Hathaway has picked a side. "For me, personally, I'm Team Letter," she told Entertainment Weekly. “I don't trust Lowen. I think that the writing is so heightened that to me, there's like a performative aspect to the manuscript. I always read the letter as she's being very careful.” And Johnson seemed to agree with her. Hoover did not confirm or deny, and only said her opinion has changed over the years.
But the film does not settle the mystery. Instead, it leaves viewers with one big question: Was Verity telling the truth in the letter, or was the disturbing manuscript the real story?
