The Plot
The first Colleen Hoover book to be adapted for the big screen, IT ENDS WITH US, tells the riveting tale of Lily Bloom (Blake Lively), a woman who overcomes a traumatic childhood to start over in Boston and pursue her lifelong dream of starting her own business.
A fortuitous encounter with charming neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid (Justin Baldoni) sparks an intense connection, but as the two fall deeply in love, Lily starts to see aspects of Ryle that remind her of her parents’ relationship.
When Lily’s first love, Atlas Corrigan (Brandon Sklenar), abruptly reappears in her life, her relationship with Ryle is upended, and Lily realizes she must learn to rely on her own strength to make a difficult decision for her future.

Introduction: It Ends with Us Full Movie Review 2024 On Netflix
“Parents need to know that It Ends with Us is based on Colleen Hoover’s hugely popular New Adult romance novel. The steamy book gained notoriety when the book-obsessed sub-community of TikTok known as BookTok criticized it for glamorizing a portrayal of domestic abuse.
The film will probably follow the same plot as the novel, focusing on the romantic relationship between main characters Lily (Blake Lively) and Ryle (Justin Baldoni, who also directs). Mature themes are likely, with abuse and domestic violence probably explored in dialogue and also possibly shown.
