Date Night Picks

Verity is a sleek, slow-burn mystery thriller with Dakota Johnson as a ghostwriter who stumbles onto a manuscript that may be lethal, opposite Anne Hathaway and Josh Hartnett. Michael Showalter keeps the tension coiled and the glamour high, perfect for a night of leaning in close and whispering your theories. You will both be guessing, and arguing happily about it on the walk home.

Aaron Sorkin brings his trademark crackle to The Social Reckoning, a drama thriller about a young engineer who risks everything to expose what a social network was hiding, with Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong. It is electric, grown-up storytelling that will have the two of you dissecting it long after the credits. Do plan ahead, as screenings are only lightly scheduled this week.
