The new Blake Lively star vehicle It Ends With Us is a film that I have no intention of watching whatsoever. The discussion about the behind-the-scenes drama surrounding It Ends With Us, however: I’m eating that up like a Domino’s pizza after three days of fasting.
The film, based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling book, hasn’t gotten the world’s most stellar reviews. Most critics have been middling to downright damning in their takes, with The Daily Beast’s Obsessed’s Nick Schager calling the film “a squishy drama that treats its serious subject with all the gravity and realism of a Hallmark Channel movie.”
That speaks to a common reaction to the film, which, based on the trailer, appeared to be a swoon-inducing romance: Wait, this is actually about domestic violence?!?!
