Watch It Ends with Us Trailer:
It Ends with Us is a movie adaptation of the famous best-selling novel by Colleen Hoover of the same title. It is about the Story of Lily Bloom who falls for Ryle, a neurosurgeon. As they take their relationship forward, Lily notices that Ryle is like a copy of the childhood traumas she has been trying to escape. Patterned abuse that she does not want in her life again.
If you have read the book, it’s about a girl who falls for some guy and he turns out to be the kind of person you should not fall for. Or anyone shouldn’t. It’s like someone finds a way to give you the same trauma you told them not to give you.
The movie has been kept close to the book, there has been no change of emotions or facts from the book. It is a very raw and honest depiction of modern domestic abuse. Especially the “Casserole scene” will be a huge deal for the audience. It shows domestic violence from an outsider’s perspective when it happens.
This movie shows how dreamy love can become the nightmare of your life if you don’t open your eyes and fight to protect yourself or at least walk away from that position. It clearly shows how monstrous and complex can an abuser be and still guilt you to stick to them with all that mistreatment.
Overall, “It Ends with Us,” tells you to stop romanticizing abuse and also asks people around to be a little more alert and compassionate to victims and not judge them if they are unable to walk away from their abusers immediately.
