1. Raising sensitive issues with a strong narrative

In IT ENDS WITH US adapted from a popular novel, the story focuses on Lily Bloom, a woman trying to escape her childhood trauma. After moving to Boston and opening a flower shop, Lily hopes to find happiness, but instead finds herself trapped in a harmful relationship.
Although it falls under the romance genre, this third film by director Justin Baldoni raises sensitive issues about domestic violence (DV). The issue is packaged with a strong and brilliant narrative, delivering a message and encouragement for viewers to leave toxic relationships.
The film also serves as an educational tool by helping viewers recognize the signs of a toxic partner early on, providing deeper insights into unhealthy relationship dynamics.
2. The acting and chemistry of the cast is truly impressive

The success of a film often depends on the acting ability of its cast. Although there were initial protests, Blake Lively managed to bring the character Lily Bloom to life with a very total performance. The emotions she displayed felt very deep, stirring the audience's feelings with its intensity.
Justin Baldoni's acting also received high praise. His transition into the role of Ryle Kincaid was done exceptionally well, captivating the audience and effectively hiding the dangerous side of his character.
Not only Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, the entire cast including Brandon Sklenar, Isabela Ferrer, Alex Neustaedter, and Amy Morton also showed high dedication in portraying their characters. They all managed to create strong chemistry, weaving relationships between characters very well throughout the film.
3. Presenting visuals and cinematography that pamper the eyes

The cinematography and visuals in the film IT ENDS WITH US deserve special attention. From the beginning, viewers are greeted with sweet visuals typical of romance films, creating an enchanting atmosphere.
The beauty of this film's visuals is further enhanced by the outstanding cinematography. Viewers are treated to beautifully captured city lights, as well as seasonal transitions that add a romantic feel to the film.
This film also highlights the beauty of color through musical elements and a soundtrack that aligns with each scene. Songs like Everytime (Britney Spears Cover) by Ethel Cain, Cherry by Lana Del Rey, and My Tears Ricochet by Taylor Swift accompany Lily Bloom's emotional journey in a very touching way.

4. Too many romantic scenes that overshadow character development

IT ENDS WITH US is indeed a romantic genre film, however, the romantic scenes in this film feel excessive. There are so many romantic scenes in this 2 hour 11 minute film that could have been used to further strengthen character development, such as Atlas (Brandon Sklenar).
Atlas is indeed a supporting character, but character development is still very much needed, considering he also has a strong relationship with Lily in the past and continues to affect her life in the future.
But don't worry! This is not a major issue. Overall, IT ENDS WITH US is worth watching, because as explained, this film has a strong plot and narrative that inspires one to break free from toxic relationships.
