IT ENDS WITH US Movie Review & Ending Explained

I review, breakdown and explain It Ends With Us. I discuss the 2024 movie which stars Blake Lively as Lily Blossom as she is married to Ryle and her previous love interest Atlas renters her life in Boston. I react to the ending, what it truly means, I compare the film to the book and I give my theories and predictions on if there will be a sequel based on the Colleen Hoover novel.

How do you think this movie compares to the novel? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

To those who haven't read the book, from the flowery cover and marketing, you'd be forgiven for mistaking it for a traditional romantic drama, when it's far more triggering than that. And while Lily doesn't stay with Ryle, she still allows him to coparent their daughter unsupervised, which feels like it wouldn't go as smoothly in reality.

Justin did an amazing job at bringing awareness to domestic violence abuse. It's a very real and important issue !! Not a romantic movie but real life drama!!

[MelWinters]

Being one of many who read both books, I'd say my biggest disappointment about the movie was the fact they left out what I thought was a critical scene from the book. The conversation Lily had with her mother when she told her she was not only pregnant, but what Ryle had done on multiple occasions. Lily expected Jenny to take Ryle's side and talk Lily into taking him back since she herself had done it so many times with Lily's father. However, Jenny didn't do that at all. Instead, Jenny gives her daughter decent advice about how we all have limits to what we'll put up with before we break. And each time we let someone get away something we told ourselves we would never put up with, it pushes our limits back. Each time the abuser is forgiven and the victim stays, it makes the next time that much harder to leave. Eventually the limits set, become non existent and the cycle of abuse continues. That's what happened between Lily's parents. Jenny begs Lily to not be like her, stay strong like she did at her father's funeral, not let go of the limits she has, and to break the cycle. From my perspective, I feel this scene brought Lily and Jenny closer as mother and daughter. Made Lily understand what was going through her mother's mind while Lily was growing up. Made Lily realize what Ryle had done wasn't her fault. And helped Lily make the right decision to leave in the end.
In the movie this conversation didn't happen. The closest to it was Lily asking her mother why she never left, and Jenny's response was, it was easier to stay and she loved him.

I didn't like the fact that Lily let Ryle have unsupervised visitation. However, more on that subject is addressed in the second book (It starts with us) and I was pleased with the outcome there.

I just saw the movie yesterday and I really enjoyed it. I held off on reading the book (busy mom life) and I’m glad I did. I decided to read the book after I watched the movie. The ending was so sad but it was also so inspiring in many ways. I came from trauma.. my parents were both abusive in a lot of ways towards each other and it was hard growing up. I’ve had my fair share of toxic relationships and I’m so glad I was strong enough not to stay and met my wonderful husband. I know this film resonated with a lot of women who are afraid and feel like they aren’t strong enough to leave. I hope it will help another Lily out there.

As someone who's read the book, regarding Ryle's backstory, I wondered why his parents would leave a gun lying around where a child could easily pick it up. They were portrayed as decent people in the narrative, and it might have been better had they gone into more detail.

My father died in March. I’m still searching for a tear or a reason I loved him. I don’t and that’s ok.

[KDB]

Honestly I just saw the movie with my wife, my sister and her boyfriend. In no way, shape or form did I feel like DV was romanticized. I feel like the people that are complaining are not too bright. It was a beautiful story about a girl being in an abusive household who eventually breaks the cycle by leaving her lunatic husband for the betterment of herself and her daughter. She also gets with the real love of her life at the end which is great. Personally I loved the movie. So did my family.

[sandysilva]

I feel sorry for this actor who is the director of the film and holds the rights to adapt the book to the cinema. He shows the reality of the film and speaks out against domestic violence very accurately. Very disrespectful for this actress who wanted to take over his film. He talks about domestic violence, she's more about selling the film like Barbie and selling the beverage products and hair products along with the film's premiere. And the book writer selling nail polish and coloring books.

[Michelle-qq]

I liked the film, it's a beautiful movie, but I don't think domestic violence is anything like the depiction in real life. I mean Blake Lively is beautiful and just radiates on the big screen, her two male co-stars are also incredibly good-looking. DV in real life is not pretty, the families that experience DV also experience other disadvantages, like financial problems, there are no inner city apartments and many women who escape DV end up living in poverty.

[nycitylifeandhistory]

the ending when she gave birth to her daughter was excellent It ends with us

[lydiamax]

So does it mean rayl was a good man but his anger controls him and he becomes blind when he gets angry ? Or he was awake and he was hurting her on purpose and she puts excuses to him that he is a good guy ? Can someone explain me please ?

[rosanneperkins]

I agree I would’ve liked that ending as well.
Atlas has a lot of anger issues to.
I just think Lily would’ve been better to have a lot more time on her own, raising a child and developing a strong friendship with Atlas maybe

[RedFeng]

What gets me, is Atlas told her that he is not homeless.

He wants to end himself in there until she gives him hope in life to continue living.

[hopebell]

This was fiction even of DV, abusers don’t just leave you alone because you ask especially with a child involved. The happy ending was insulting because DV doesn’t stop with a divorce

[farihahasib]

I watch this movie today. Very beautiful movie. Specially for women

[Designables]

I was the only guy in my movie theater.. oh well...

[mae_liii]

As someone who read the book (and hated it), I really dislike how the cast (except Justin) are trivializing the seriousness of DV and promoting it as cutesie flower girl romcom. Trying to turn this into barbenheimmer with Deadpool/Wolverine is also super tone-deaf. The movie also massively downplayed the abuse that is in the book and makes it much more ambiguous. It doesn’t help that the source material is utter garbage, but yeah the movie doesn’t help

[RandomPerson-hhzc]

I haven't read the book so I can't speak on that, but man the movie was very melodramatic and far-fetched. I was trying not to roll my eyes there towards the end.

[MANAMARC]

I don’t get why people don’t get the idea of the movie before watching it… does no one watch the trailer before watching the movie?
