IT ENDS WITH US Movie Review **SPOILER ALERT**

[@laci2966]

Big Little Lies did a great portrayal of intimate partner violence with Kidman and Skarsgard. This isn’t giving me the same vibe.

[@janejane-tk3wx]

right that was scary and the acting was amazing

[@mermaidreviews4693]

I agree big little lies did it great and if they do a part 2 to this movie they should watch season 2 of big little lies it was great

[@Reverse_Cat_Cowgirl]

This author makes all of her characters rich with no real explanation. They all have this free time and money, and the men have some stereotypical professions the women think are "sexy." It's often done in a way that feels very ungrounded to me...

[@smchulhan]

To me the most unbelievable is that Ryle let her go with the baby. Ryle would use their daughter for control

[@sarab3417]

Yuuuuuuuuup

[@MsEriKaT]

Which is why I would've thought she'd have an abortion

[@lauralarrabee7870]

Exactly. Some men will not allow for a rational thought. He got violent on three instances and suddenly at the end has a rational conversation about their future daughter. Ryle would be lovebombing their daughter and manipulating Lily. Especially an alpha male neurosurgeon. What neurosurgeon would handle a hot oven with no mitt?

[@AriannaGi]

I haven't read the books but I saw someone talking about how in the books he uses the daughter against her constantly

[@evap.5121]

@@MsEriKaT normal ppl don't take abortion lightly. Most men have a tendency to be abusive in some way or another. We can't go around aborting every child because of their Father.

[@kattykat9600]

The part y'all were talking about, about how did she let herself get finessed by him as a smart strong woman, is excatly what they were trying to show. So many people think of victims of abuse as being weak, meek, women who have nothing realy going on. And that's not always the case. Abuse comes in all shapes & colors & sizes so to speak. I was a very strong, independent woman who was super picky about any man I dated. And never in a million years did I think i'd find myself in an abusive relationship. Cut to me being about 28-29 & finding myself in my first (and only!) abusive relationship. It stayed 5 years. I was the primary bread winner, I owend my own car, I paid my own rent, I didn't "need" a man like so many women of abuse, so i'm not your stereotypical "abuse victim". that's one of the few things I did like about this that it shows anyone can become a victim/survivor or abuse.

[@laurenwojo]

“The Lily I knew..” Hahaha idk why that had me dying

[@Oonagh72]

The one problem I have with your reviews is that you look at films the exact same way I do. I could not watch your Deadpool review because you were pulling off my rose colored glasses. You were pointing out everything I was trying to just “let go”. I’m making this point to say that I really trust your reviews. You aren’t sugar coating it.

According to an interview, I saw on KZbin the author of the book asked Justin Baldoni to play the main male character in the book as well as direct. He just wanted to direct the movie, but she asked him to play the role and he did.

[@LolaDelMarCaribe]

He’s also the only one promoting this movie for what it is and not glamorizing it. The women that worked on this movie have been selling this as a romcom, gross.

[@Suspishhh23]

Its better. Well, at least more well rounded.

[@Kiki-cs8xv]

It's worse. The big faults of the movie (Ryle being an unappealing douche from the start, the characters making nonsensical choices, everyone being hugely rich for no reason) all come from the book. At least the movie condensed down the relationships, and got rid of some of the worst scenes.

Apparently, Blake Lively had the film reedited and the film you saw is her edit. Also the wardrobe was her own and her husband wrote some scenes while the screenwriter was on strike??? Glad I didn't see this one. You guys are so deadpan and I love it! So much shade! 😎

[@jacobstaten2366]

It's a lot easier for her to make a clean break than the average person. Her ex is a neurosurgeon, so child support wouldn't be an issue even if her mother is independently wealthy. She owned her own business. His family took her side. And to boot, she had an attractive guy waiting in the winds. He even owns his own business. It would have been more interesting and realistic if they struggled for money or he kept her financially dependent on him. He also does an about face at the end without being threatened with legal action, getting arrested, or at least being exposed as violent in a public way.

[@jimjambaroo777]

The book is in fact NOT better, the book is terrible but (in my opinion) it’s The Room of Bad books 🤣 in the book, the flashbacks are portrayed as journal entries, except she doesn’t want to be cliche so her journals are written as letters to Ellen Degeneres, no I’m not joking; in the book all of that ambiguity of “did he slap her in the eye, was it an accident?” Is not there, she straight up acknowledges that he slapped her in the eye, pushed her down the stairs, etc, but he basically sweet talks his way out of it in a cartoony way; also this multimillionaire neurosurgeon is only 30 years old in the book, and that huge surgery that they briefly mentioned in the film (right before he burns his hand) is, in the book, a Ben Carson-style separation of conjoined twins. This book is SO goofy I’d love a book review on it🤣🤣

[@jandmvideos9051]

I also read the book. It was pretty goofy. I had forgotten just how goofy until this review brought it all flooding back.

Interesting that you pointed out that Lily saying she lost her virginity to a homeless boy seems very out of character based on what they showed of teenage Lily. It has come out that Ryan Reynolds wrote that rooftop scene. It does sound like something he would come up with. And would maybe explain why it doesn’t quite fit.

[@lifewithloismarie]

That was said by Lily in the book.

[@lifewithloismarie]

That was said by Lily in the book.

[@Kiki-cs8xv]

Based on the rooftop scene in the book vs the movie, the rewrites improved the conversation. At least she makes fun of him in the movie, and they both acknowledge their ridiculous names. The line about losing her virginity to a homeless guy is pretty much word for word lifted from the book.

The names of the men (Ryle and Atlas): do the characters come from Genoa City or Pine Valley or Corinth or Salem? As for folks directing and starring in a film: perhaps the Streisands are rarer than many imagine. Once again, thanks for taking one for the team. This was a published book? One recalls Joe Queenan’s remark about bad books. 🤣

[@jayblaqk]

There weren't enough MarDevils, tornadoes or Victor Newaman's screaming "You got that!" to be on par with American soap. I can't get over Jane The Virgin's Rafael Solano directing himself and starring as an abuser. I understand the power of the story, but it is a bracing character shift.

[@Alexza1980]

I loved your take on the movie. I guess Blake doesn't make sense in the movie because she is older. In the book Lily is only 24 years old BUT Ryle doesn't make sense in the book because he is way too young to be a neurosurgeon!! I absolutely agree with how mean Lily sounded by saying "homeless boy". Why not say "runaway boy"...

The quote at the end was the big quote at the end of the book. I guess just bringing it home. But probably not necessary. But what do I know lol

I just saw it. I read the book. I thought it was a decent chick flick, and I like the message of ending the cycle of abuse. The term “it ends with us” can be used for a lot of trauma that we have to break. But some of the wording in the script was a tad corny lol

This movie was infuriating. As a woman, dating/having relationships like this is so reckless. Her running to Atlas right after almost being SA by her husband pissed me off. I couldn’t imagine wanting to be around any man after that, unless they were my kin or a police officer. Horrible decisions all around. 22:45 ITS KYLE WITH AN R 😂 literally me.

[@DonPetrushka]

Well, I don't think so. She needed protection and support. It was obvious she'd run to him. But it ain't explain why she let Ryle back into her life after a while just to eventually tell him "we have to divorce". She wasn't that stereotypical victim of domestic violence who would keep eating dirt as long as possible. She was quite sure to leave him after she realized everything, so she should've stayed this way till the end. And if they needed to show us those words of her "imagine your daughter tells you her husband assaulted her, pushed her down the stairs, etc… what would you say" they could've put them on some different setting. A phone call, or a meeting at some neutral place, idk, but not in the nursery sitting together and cuddling their newborn kid. I felt insecure about that scene and thought he could go mad and do something to her or to the kid

[@leila4509]

This particular story would have made more sense if she were much younger-perhaps she could have inherited money after her father died. Her giggly, naive character could then gradually become trapped in an abusive relationship, as Ryle, being older and more financially successful, slowly erodes her confidence and makes her dependent on him. The reconnection with Atlas would have also felt more natural, as only a few years would have passed.
