Well, if you ain’t heard, there’s a movie out called It Ends With Us. Now, I don’t know what you’ve heard about it, but lemme tell ya, it’s a real mix of love and heartache. The story’s based on a book by Colleen Hoover, and it’s been all over the place, especially on them social media things like BookTok. But watchin’ the movie, I gotta say, it ain’t exactly what I expected.
Now, this movie’s got Blake Lively in it. She plays this gal named Lily, who owns a flower shop. Now, that there flower shop sounds real sweet, but Lily’s life ain’t all roses. She’s been through some tough times, somethin’ dark hangin’ over her head from her past. She meets this fella named Ryle Kincaid, played by Justin Baldoni. Ryle’s a neurosurgeon, real smart and good-lookin’, but he’s got some issues too. He ain’t too keen on relationships, but he can’t help but fall for Lily.
Now, don’t go thinkin’ this is just some sweet love story, no sir. It’s more than that. There’s a whole lotta drama and emotions stirrin’ around. This movie dives into some heavy stuff like abuse, and I gotta say, it don’t sugarcoat it none. You can feel the tension between Lily and Ryle, as their relationship starts to get a little rocky, especially with Ryle’s temper issues and his struggles with, well, his own demons. It sure ain’t easy watchin’, let me tell ya.
So, here’s the thing: It Ends With Us has got a lot of people talkin’, but not all of ’em are happy with it. On one hand, the movie does a good job showin’ how complicated love can be, and Blake Lively does a real fine job playin’ Lily. She really pulls you in, and you can feel her pain and strength, even when she’s in some real tough spots. On the other hand, some folks say the movie drags on too long and gets repetitive. You know, sometimes it feels like it’s just goin’ in circles without gettin’ anywhere new.
As for Ryle, well, some say Justin Baldoni does alright in his role, but I gotta be honest, his character can get a little hard to watch. Now, I ain’t sayin’ he don’t do a good job, but the way Ryle acts, sometimes it feels like he’s just the same ol’ man you see in these troubled love stories. He’s got his charm, but the things he does… well, you might not be too fond of him after a while.
But it ain’t just about them two. There’s a lot of other characters, too, like Lily’s family, and let’s just say, it don’t always feel like a fairy tale. It gets real messy, and you can tell it’s not just love that’s complicated—it’s everything around it. The family drama, the emotional baggage, all that stuff you can relate to in real life, even if you ain’t been through the exact same thing.
Some folks have been sayin’ the movie coulda been shorter. You see, with a runtime of about two hours, it starts feelin’ like you’re stuck in a loop, watchin’ the same things happen again and again. I won’t lie, there were times I thought, “Ain’t we been through this already?” So, if you’re the type that likes a movie that gets to the point quick, you might find it a bit draggy.
But hey, that’s just what some people think. Other folks have said it’s a real powerful story that gets you thinkin’ deep about relationships and the choices we make. It’s one of them films where you’re not sure whether to cry, get mad, or just sit there in silence. The movie’s got some real raw moments, especially when it comes to the darker sides of love and how hard it can be to let go, even when you know it’s for the best.
So, if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ light and fluffy, this might not be your cup of tea. But if you’re in the mood for a movie that’ll make you feel all sorts of things, It Ends With Us might just be the one. It’s got love, heartbreak, and a lot of life lessons packed in there. It’s a tough watch, but sometimes, that’s just what we need.
All in all, the movie’s gotten a mix of reviews. Some people love it, some people don’t. But one thing’s for sure, it’s a story that sticks with ya, long after the credits roll.
