The way that the cast (with the exception of Justin Baldoni) of It Ends With Us is handling the actual story is so disheartening and gross. It Ends With Us is the recountment of a domestic violence survivor, a story about her and her abuser. It’s not a “fun” “funny” “movie with hot boys and girls” story (Blake Lively’s actual words to describe the film), it’s a story about the nuances of DV, and the hope that you can end the generational trauma. Ryle IS Lily Bloom’s abuser and a perpetrator. He is NOT a male romantic interest in a romance novel, he is an abuser. Lily Bloom falling in love with Ryle and narrating it shows us how difficult it is to leave that type of relationship, how we ignore the red flags because of the feelings and complexities of it all. Like viewers and readers need to understand that.

“Le persone non smettono mai di mancarci. Impariamo soltanto a vivere, tenendoci dentro, in qualche modo, l’enorme abissale vuoto lasciato dalla loro assenza.”

“Falling in love doesn’t always lead to heartbreak. With the right man, it can be a one-way ticket to paradise.”

“Wie sehr ich mir wünsche, dass du für immer bleibst.”

the best relationship is when you can act like lovers and best friends at the same time
