It Ends With Us

Lily Bloom’s got a name that screams “flowers,” and she’s all about living life her own way. After her dad’s funeral, where she totally choked on the eulogy, she packs up her life and moves from Maine to Boston. Her big dream? Open a flower shop, obviously. Once she hits Boston, she bumps into this super handsome neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid. Turns out, he’s the brother of Allysa, her new assistant at the shop. But here’s the thing: Ryle isn’t exactly Mr. Commitment.

Lily tries to keep her distance ’cause commitment’s not Ryle’s thing. And she’s dealing with some heavy stuff from back in the day—her dad was abusive, even smacked around Lily’s first love, Atlas, who still lingers in her thoughts. When Lily finally gives in and starts something with Ryle, memories of Atlas stir up Ryle’s dark side and things get intense for Lily.

The film “It Ends With Us – Siamo noi a dire basta” is based on Colleen Hoover’s famous romance novel. It’s got all those character names you’d expect from modern chick lit—so drama-filled! But this story also tackles heavier topics like domestic violence in a thoughtful way. Hoover does something interesting here by balancing between actual violence and potential violence; you start seeing hints right from their first meeting when Ryle kicks a chair in anger over seemingly nothing.

Justin Baldoni not only directed the film but also stepped into Ryle’s shoes. He keeps you guessing, letting viewers figure out what they really think. It’s pretty cool since we live in a world where people seem sure of everything.

Blake Lively plays Lily Bloom, starting off with her usual cheerful charm—classic Blake! But as things get more complicated, her character’s unresolved issues with her dad start to shake her confidence. Brandon Sklenar steps into the role of Atlas, delivering that classic romance novel energy to the story.

The young actors playing Lily and Atlas are spot-on too (shoutout to Isabela Ferrer and Alex Neustaedter). Oh, and keep an eye out for funny cameos by comedians Jenny Slate and Hasan Minhaj—they add extra flair!

The movie sticks true to its book roots from Colleen Hoover while sneaking in some fun nods and jokes along the way—like a neuro joke thrown in perfectly by our surgeon protagonist!
This movie’s got a few cringe-worthy moments, but also some touching ones too. If you’re the right audience for it, you might just find it’s enough to keep you entertained.
