Who is It For?
You have to like those romantic drama movies that dive into complex topics that hit home. People were into the book for ages. Even though this movie got mixed movie reviews (some liked it, some didn't) it's been a big deal, making a splash at the box office!
Why are Reviews for "It Ends With Us" so Mixed?
- There's that It Ends With Us ending which really stuck with fans - it's quite a dramatic and important statement.
- The problem? Reviewers said the story moves a bit fast, making characters like Lily feel kinda shallow! People feel that the relationships are rushed. That kind of movie can make those really key domestic abuse moments feel like they weren't quite handled right. It’s like the story is focusing on those scenes too much, so people feel it could have done a better job of making those emotional moments believable.
So what is good about It Ends With Us?
- Well, most fans loved Blake Lively as Lily! The acting, especially how she conveys that big transition as Lily starts to figure out how badly things have gone in her relationship!
- Justin Baldoni was also praised - he had a tough task with playing Ryle - that guy with all that charming exterior. It made him really hard to judge. It Ends With Us is trying to address domestic abuse seriously, and these performances were great - but maybe it's a bit hard to see a good movie when things like that aren't completely addressed.
- They did a good job showing a character change. Ryle goes from charming to truly awful and Lily eventually starts to see him clearly. There's no trying to hide it, Ryle really becomes this monster. It was like a "Jekyll and Hyde" character.
How is "It Ends With Us" Connected to “It Starts with Us”?
That's the big question - It Starts With Us, the sequel. You know what happens? Lily, the main character, moves on from Ryle but then she is caught in the mix of a totally unexpected reunion!
So It Ends with Us is actually just the start of the "It Ends With Us" book story. A lot of movie fans, were excited because there is an idea for another film, "It Starts With Us",, which can totally make sense because that sequel book was awesome too.
Overall - "It Ends with Us" has tons of buzz, it's a must-see movie. Fans can make up their own minds about those things reviewers mentioned! So whether it's that domestic abuse film vibe or a super good romantic drama - make your way to the theater and judge for yourselves!
