Report
Justin is the movie focus stealer in this film by far. With consideration to everything he brought to bringing it up off the ground and the chemistry he pours into his role I was left in unexpected awe! It was easy to see how Lily overlooked many of the red flags exhibited before her with the various degrees to which she is pursued and by her new employee and closest friends sibling. I feel that Justin hit the ball out of the park with this and that Blake Lively is good in her role as Lily but the tension and the underlying uncertainty yet provocative magnetism between these two translates well to a palpable attraction and the stakes by which Lily falls onto her deeply winding spiral with her seemingly ideal **** when Brandon Skelnar comes into the picture as Lily's ex from childhood the stakes rise. There was line that hit my heart so hard where he tells her if she ever feels like falling in love again, to fall for him that completely sent me beaming with adoration.
Report
Lively does her best to add emotional layers to Lily so we see her internal growth, but this process is often hampered by the film around her.
The life lessons being taught here about self-acceptance, self-love and self-worth might be a little pat and some of the darker elements could have afforded a tad more darkness, but It Ends with Us leads with heart first, everything else later. It’s a film of huge, sometimes hugely unsubtle, emotion but it has an effectively forceful sweep to it.
For a story centered on childhood trauma, domestic violence, and the cycle of abuse, these themes feel like afterthoughts when they could have been its strength. It’s certainly lacking, but hearts were in the right place.
The result is a visual headache, overcrowding every frame with colour, texture and patterns, rather than building to some carefully orchestrated tension.

It Ends with Us is in deep solidarity with its source material when it comes to constructing a work that is uniquely bland and unmemorable.

FULL REVIEW
The wife really wanted to see this movie and at first I thought it was going to be another chick-flick I would have to sit through, but in all seriousness this was a great film and actually brought out some emotions. Great writing, great lines, I recommend this one.

Since when does the end justify the means? Plasticized and algorithmized TV dramedy: a boomerang. Going beyond domestic violence and toxic masculinity, on the oppression between the sexes I still prefer "American Psycho" (better the '91 book than the 2000 movie) and "Disclosure" (both the novel and the film adaptation, both from '94).
Report
Without having read the book, it would appear that "It Ends with Us" is clearly a movie that is based on an exceptional book, but the filmakers really dropped the ball. I say that because the issue with the movie is not it's story, the story is actually quite compelling and it has a consistent through line of abuse and trauma that weaves it's way in and out of our main characters. The issues here all lie in the medium of filmmaking. The dialogue, performances and editing are all incredibly awkward and clunky, there's certain scenes and set pieces that feel so rushed and unfinished, and the film treats the novel's sensitive subject matter with the emotional subtlety of a sledgehammer.
