A florist’s seemingly perfect relationship unravels when an old flame re-enters the picture, forcing her to make a difficult choice about her future.

Justin Baldoni’s adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, It Ends With Us, is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the complexities of human relationships. The film stars Blake Lively in a powerful performance as Lily, a florist who finds herself caught between two men: her loving but flawed husband, Ryle Kincaid (Justin Baldoni), and her first love, Atlas Corrigan (Adam Brody).
Lily’s life takes an unexpected turn when Atlas re-enters her life. Their rekindled romance ignites a passionate affair, forcing her to confront the dark side of love and the devastating consequences of toxic relationships. As the lines between past and present blur, Lily must make a difficult choice that will forever alter the course of her life.
One of the film’s strengths lies in its raw and emotional performances. Blake Lively delivers a tour-de-force performance, capturing the vulnerability, strength, and resilience of her character. Justin Baldoni also shines as the conflicted and controlling Ryle, showcasing the character’s complex nature and the destructive impact of his behavior.
The film’s exploration of domestic abuse is handled with sensitivity and care. It highlights the insidious nature of abuse and the importance of recognizing the signs. The film’s message of empowerment and self love is particularly relevant in today’s society, where conversations about healthy relationships are increasingly important.
While the film’s pacing may be uneven at times, and some plot points may feel rushed, it ultimately succeeds in delivering a powerful and emotionally resonant story. The film’s stunning visuals, particularly the picturesque setting of Boston, add to its overall impact.
It Ends With Us is a poignant reminder that love can be both a source of joy and a cause of pain. It is a film that will stay with you long after the credits roll, prompting reflection on the complexities of human relationships and the importance of choosing oneself.
