The best-selling romance novel "It Ends With Us" makes its way to the screen this week. The great Katie Walsh from Tribune News Service fills in on this review, and she actually read Colleen Hoover's book, so her insights are especially helpful. Blake Lively stars as Lily Bloom, a Boston flower shop owner who falls for a hunky neurosurgeon, played by the film's director, Justin Baldoni. But their passionate affair soon grows volatile, and Lily finds herself in the same cycle of violence she witnessed her mother suffer through when she was a teenager. Co-starring Brandon Sklenar, Jenny Slate, Hasan Minhaj and Isabela Ferrer. In theaters now.

I read the book. Honestly, I don’t think domestic violence inside a romance movie works. If you want a more accurate representation of the fear and paranoia that comes with leaving an abuser, watch The Invisible Man.

@BreakfastAllDay 2 месяца назад

That was surprisingly excellent.

@VikingMatt879 2 месяца назад

As a former cop who worked on the bad side of town and had to answer a domestic violence call at least once a day, no exaggeration, I don't think I need to tell anyone the evils of DV,. Once I heard this review, and the very artificial cutesy names of the characters, and how it is filmed like a soapy Nicholas Sparks in eternal springtime, I think I would object to this movie in the way that Gene and Roger did to Sleeping With They Enemy, in that the horrors of DV and abuse towards women is too serious to be trifled with in a movie that doesn't know how to properly deal with it. I never believe any topic should be out of bounds. Just know what to do with it, respectfully. Blake Lively is a very under-rated actress. I'm sure she is VERY good in this.

@devviedowner13 2 месяца назад

@desertsuede4 2 месяца назад

The movie is very light and glossy, but it has a bit of a PSA quality to it, and it never wavers in its anti-DV message - there's no wavering on the part of the protagonist, and no victim blaming here (except we are put in the POV of Lily Bloom in that she glosses over what really happened until she accepts that what happened really did happen). It's not realistic at all, but it has the right attitude.

@noahkahan4364 Месяц назад

I just saw it. I think the reason that it was bottled the way it was I actually appreciated. It was at the beginning. She says she’s an unreliable marriage when she’s talking to Ryle. And I stink they muddled it to show how in the real world people that are in love go to great lengths to lie to themselves about their abusive relationship. because I think they were trying to film it and show it in such a way that showed us what she saw when she saw it

@rosanneperkins9516 2 месяца назад

I didn’t read the book at first. I’m trying to figure out why anyone thought it was a romance novel. I look at it as three people; Atlas, Lily and Rhyl, who all have had incredible trauma in their lives, and how they deal or don’t deal with it . Yes, Lily does fall in love with Rhyl, has a child with him and marries him, but ends up, leaving after the abuse gets too much . That is my perception and observation. I’ve actually heard so many things at the book isn’t that well written .

@julieo219 2 месяца назад

I haven't read the book so came to the movie fresh. Loved Blake Lively but I felt the film just skimmed the surface of the DV subject. I also think character development in the film could have been better. I couldn't understand as a viewer why a character like Lily would fall for someone like Ryle. I thought the roof top scene had the best banter between the 2 characters....and after that it was instead romantic scene montages and conversations which lacked that initial spark. It was still a good film, but I wonder if the book was better...?

The book was way way better. The movie was an epic disappointment. The screenplay was too rushed and I couldn't connect with any of the characters. I didn't even feel bad for the protagonist when she was going through abuse.

@lexis4490 2 месяца назад

I actually like this movie. Unlike other domestic violence movies which loves to show the man as a super villain, they show how women would stay with a man who is abusive. People always ask why did the woman stay. Sometimes it’s because you don’t think of it as abuse. The character of Atlas is where I have a problem. That’s where the movie seemed super convenient.

@desertsuede4 2 месяца назад

I liked the movie quite a bit too, but everything in it is the idealized perfect version of reality, even the way she escapes the DV - it's not the real world at all. The message is good though. For a real world take, I think the TV series "Maid" is much more accurate and impactful.

I live in South Texas County and was really surprised when I went to purchase a ticket to find that there were few available seats. Next to me were some girls who looked to be about sixteen. I though the themes were mature for them, but they seemed to like it.

Evn with so many women raising alarm about the books impact on impressionable mind ever since. It seems he is now trying to do damage control or play silent victim ,and lucky for him both idiots blake and ryan are making it easy for him. The book is the problem in the first place. Wouldn't that mean justin was as tone deaf as blake.

@andygilly14 2 месяца назад

Watching this movie all I could think is: "It Ends with Us = All Too Well ([insert runtime here] minutes Version)". Also, as someone who works on marketing, this is a really hard movie to market because the subject matter is hard to sell to audiences. If I really knew what the movie is about, I would probably wouldn't willingly go and watch it (note I have never read the book before, I heard of it but never read it).

@BobBoozle 2 месяца назад

@mishysbooknook The domestic violence part is why I watched the movie. I think most of the criticism about the movie is they didn't do the domestic violence well. About 80% of the time we spend with Blake & Baldoni is romance though there are subtle signs that he has a dark side. Perhaps they did that to show how easy people can fall into those type of relationships.

My 19 yr old and I are fans of the book and movie. The questions you have maybe explained in the book. I’m hopeful for book 2, It Starts with Us, to become a movie too. Then we’ll all get more Atlas. If rumors are true then it probably won’t happen since we still need Justin/Ryle. People are harsh on Colleen Hoovers writing, I enjoyed the story. Varity is a great book she wrote that will hopefully become a movie too.

People are harsh on Colleen because she trivialized DV even though she used to be a social worker. The way this movie is promoted as a cutesie flower girl romcom makes a joke out of the serious topic of DV. I don’t why I’m surprised though from an author who released nail polish line based on her book about domestic abuse?? And was going to publish a colouring book based on it ends with us??

@frankenviews4069 Месяц назад

From Twilight to 30 shades to this, why do the most successful romance books aimed at women always include include some grotesque toxic masculinity and violence? It's no secret that a woman is most likely to be murdered by her romantic partner or someone she knows well. So is this some kind of way to rationalize, to spin the average woman's dark reality into some wonderful sexy romance?

@YoungMovieReviews 2 месяца назад

Me who haven't reaided the book for me it's another "If the Guy is Good-looking and Has a Six-pack. it doesn't matter if you have done Terrible things, unforgivable things, all is Forgiven" movie. Me who's a victim of child abuse'. Like why bring him to her house after the abuse or have him be the one deliver her baby. "But he'd the father", but he'd assault her, also sexually assault her. Who cares if he's the father.

@lexis4490 2 месяца назад

Easy to say if you haven’t been through it. I love my father, who also best the shit out of me. It wasn’t frequent but I remember the belt. And he did that because his mother beat the shit out of him wit a belt. And I love that woman too. She was a complicated woman herself, I luckily understand I don’t want to be someone who does that and control my anger. People who are abusive are not villains that’s just how they stupidly deal with things in a world that supported physical punishment. Hell, we got women who are willing to vote for men to control women TODAY!

@angelthman1659 2 месяца назад

I saw the movie and if this doesn't demonstrate what I've been saying for years, I don't know what does. There's a bias against women's escapism. ( *IEWU* has a green 56% critics score on RT, though a 92% audience score.) It's sad that two female critics are following a pattern established by male critics decades ago, rating all chick flicks as awful, while giving praise or passes to guy movies. It's a notion rooted in sexism. The hate leveled on *50 Shades of Grey* a few years back was absurd. I admit that film was trashy, though not nearly as bad as critics had you believe. But *IEWU* is actually good! It's well-made and acted. Yes, it's a YA love story, and so there are certain beats it needs to hit, including a little soap opera. But that's the genre. Are we now going to eliminate entire genres and make everything an arthouse movie? While we're at it, let's eliminate action movies and superhero movies. *Die Hard* would work better as a chamber drama🤪 Movies should be judged based on their genres, not by attempting to change them into something they're not. *IEWU* is escapism, and should only be reviewed as such. It hits all the marks as a YA romance. Critics try to come across as smarter than the rest of us, and for that reason they've dropped the ball on *IEWU.* I'm glad audiences have vetoed the critics. In this case, audiences are being smarter. As pure escapism, this film is nearly perfect. And that's why it's a smash. It felt to me like you two enjoyed the movie, though were nitpicking things like the rent for the store's real estate and the length of the movie. Katie said she likes reading romance novels. Those are all hokey anyway lol. I can't imagine that she enjoys romance novels, though somehow not this movie. Unless by romance novels she means The English Patient and The Age of Innocence 🤨 I'd love to hear Alonso's take on *IEWU.* I know he likes Hallmark Xmas movies, so I can't imagine him having a problem with *IEWU.* Unless he decides to put his critic hat on rather than enjoy the movie instinctively. Critics shouldn't be so hard on female-centric escapism because it discourages the production of it. As it is, we get very few romcoms and love stories for the big screen.
