Film; Name: It Ends with Us (2024); Production Studios: Wayfarer Studios, Saks Picture Company; Director by: Justin Baldoni; Screenwriter: Christy Hall; Starring: Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, Jenny Slate, Brandon Sklenar, Hasan Minhaj; Genres: Drama, Melodrama; Running Time: 2 hours 10 minutes;

It Ends with Us (2024) is an adaptation of Colleen Hoover's novel that combines romance and domestic violence drama. Blake Lively conveys the emotions of the heroine well, but the film suffers from an uneven tone: romantic scenes contrast with the theme of violence, which sometimes looks unnatural. Although the acting is strong, the mixing of genres leaves a mixed impression.

Three stars — well played, but tonally unbalanced.
