I like that Justin is taking the movie seriously
Props to him

[amybosley]

Justin has said nothing but complimentary, lovely statements about Blake in public. Blake has said nothing about Justin. I don't think it is his fault they have not been seen promoting the movie together.

[heatherhensley]

Alcohol and d v should never be promoted together
No no no 🤦‍♀️

[Angie-kqnd]

I saw this movie, and it triggered me. I was a victim of DV, and I saw all the interviews that Justin did and really appreciate his honesty and telling the story of letting go. I was not happy with Blake promoting her products.

The marketing is what was “glamorizing” this movie, and the mean girl drama is undermining it.

[heatherhensley]

After seeing Blake w the interviewer and the “bump” comment I’m going w she’s the problem
She needs to self reflect

[Nikki-T]

Blake is no longer a star. I have no interest in seeing the movie due to how she has acted to Justin... and the fallout of who the real Blake is. No apologies for her past mistakes. NO THANK YOU

[heatherhensley]

I like Blake’s acting
But since she’s treating a movie about d v like a rom com it’s a hard NO from me
Tone deaf

[cleophilopator]

HE is the only one talking about DV and it's impact on woman. She even deflects the question when asked. If you know nothing about the movie you would have thought it was a romantic comedy. I AM TEAM JUSTIN ALL THE WAY.

It’s really a great movie I enjoyed every bit of it & im so happy I watched before all this drama started. I feel bad that some people won’t watch it because of all the drama surrounding it cause the movie deserves the success & Justin as a director showed a new perspective to DV that we haven’t seen before. He is very talented & doesn’t deserve all the negativity. He deserves to be celebrated & praised for the job he did 👏

[elisaolalla]

I don’t usually pay attention to the “behind the scenes” features. I was really interested in this movie because I’ve lived DV, I know the ups and downs these toxic relationships have on your life. I’m so disappointed it’s turned into the Blake “naive and immature” lively show. I’m just putting her on the shelf with Will Smith. I’m loving Justin though, I’m going to watch because of him.

[elisabethlourens]

Not in one interview does Blake say anything at all about Justin. She should have said: Justin is a fucking excellent director an fucking brilliant hot exceptional actor! But no...she is too jealous to say anything good about anything else. She has a jezebel spirit. This is why. Justin though is mature enough to praise her.

[nadanieuwoudt]

Sadly, I lost interest due to the drama..

[jennifercr.]

So many other female actors could easily replace her in the sequel ❤

[jennifercr.]

It is a good movie and quite honestly so relatable to so many . It's just upsetting that Blake is not promoting it properly and only in it for her other businesses using this opportunity to be boost them . All about the ole mighty dollar 😮 Justin is amazing genuine and honest ❤ kudos to him !! He's more in touch than she is on so many levels !

[anavasconcelos]

It’s seems to me that she bully him out of his own movie!!! And he was upset!

I was also pleasantly surprised by how good this movie was. It was very emotionally engaging and you not only felt for Lilly but also a bit for Ryle as well. Of course you're not going to come away loving him, but I think the film did humanize him instead of just simply being a monster who abuses her. Great movie, sucks that it's being dragged down with all this needless cast drama 😥😥

[elisabethlourens]

Totally agree. She is good, but not wow. He though (Justin) if fucking brilliant! His facial expressions and being good and bad in one...excellent

[SoulFoxx]

I thought the movie was good. Certain scenes did take a little but the visual and emotionally buildup was worth it. The tough scenes weren't as tough (which was great) and it sparked curiosity, hope, and sadness towards the both the main characters. The ending was graceful, honest, and truly inspiring. Baldoni did an amazing job! As for Blake Lively's acting performance, I wasn't completely convinced that she was "Lily." There were times where I felt like I was watching "Serena" from Gossip Girl which threw me off. Now let's pretend for one minute that there isn't any bad publicly of Blake or how she didn't get along with Justin. I hate to say it (because I loved her in The Age of Adaline) but I don't think she was the right fit for this particular role. Who else would have played well in it? Not sure but I wasn't convinced. Overall, I give it 8/10.

This is a terrific movie. Its too bad Blake is talking crap about Justin. He's a really good guy who I know personally both him his mom & dad. A wonderful family
