Overview

Based on the bestselling novel (and BookTok sensation) by Colleen Hoover, It Ends With Us leans into classic melodrama while deftly handling some provocative themes. Lily (Blake Lively in a career-best role), a woman with a dark past, leaves her small hometown determined to make a new life for herself. When she meets the charismatic and troubled Ryle (played by director Justin Baldoni) Lily's instincts tell her to walk away, but she finds herself drawn back into the same cycles of her traumatic childhood.

It Ends With Us is a tearjerker that indulges in its red-meat drama, but then gives it the grace of shading and complexity—and rare humanity.”

Vanity Fair

“When I say it’s a soap opera, I mean that as praise...a soap opera that turns dark and stays convincing.”

Variety

This is a film that leans into its cliches...and smartly uses them to enact triggering lessons about generational trauma.

Screen Daily

Why You Should See This Film

Perhaps even more so than the novel, It Ends With Us handles its at times heavy subject matter with sensitivity and grace, managing a realistic depiction of domestic abuse that never feels exploitative. Lively's portrayal of a vibrant woman forced to confront her past is particularly resonant, making this a refreshingly sincere and nuanced view on the ways trauma echoes through relationships.
