Blake Lively’s It Ends With Us lands soft Rotten Tomatoes rating
As a seasoned moviegoer with a soft spot for romantic dramas and a keen eye for storytelling, I must say that Blake Lively’s new film “It Ends With Us” has left me feeling a bit conflicted. On one hand, it’s got that emotional punch we all crave from a good romance, but on the other, it seems to struggle with finding a balance between style and substance.
The film starring Blake Livery, titled “It Ends With Us“, has garnered a moderate rating on Rotten Tomatoes following a mix of positive and negative critic responses.
The upcoming movie adapts Colleen Hoover’s 2016 novel and revolves around the protagonist, Lily, who renews old romantic ties amidst her entanglement in an abusive situation.
Ever since its release, the movie has garnered a relatively moderate approval rating of 57% on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics showing a wide range of opinions about it.
Some people appreciate aspects of the novel “It Ends With Us” like its emotional depth, but others argue that it leans too heavily on style at the expense of substance.
Here’s what critics have been saying:
Digital Spy
“It Ends With Us may have retained certain inescapable elements from its original work, yet clever adaptations and an enchanting performance by Blake Lively help offset these aspects to some degree.”
The Guardian
“In this story, valuable lessons on self-acceptance, self-love, and self-worth are presented, though some may find them a touch simplistic, and the deeper, more somber aspects could have been given more depth. However, ‘It Ends with Us’ prioritizes emotion above all else, and it does so in a bold, albeit occasionally overt manner. The film carries a powerful, sometimes overwhelmingly intense emotional impact.”
Screen International
As a devoted movie enthusiast, I must admit that this film embraces familiar tropes, turning passionate nights into breezy mornings, and subtly weaving intense dialogues suggesting an all-consuming passion. Remarkably, it employs these clichés to deliver poignant insights about the devastating impact of generational trauma, making for a thought-provoking viewing experience.
The Independent
“The novel ‘It Ends with Us‘ can be quite moving, but it struggles to balance tender subjects effectively alongside descriptions of luxurious diamond-studded boots being caressed.”
The Daily Telegraph
In a simpler and more conversational style, the sentence could be rephrased as: “Baldoni’s movie seems like it could have been produced by Netflix. It appears they focused more on stylish decorations rather than the actual cinematography.”
Little White Lies
Instead of a traditional headache that comes from sight, it’s more like an overwhelming bombardment of color, textures, and patterns in each image, lacking the gradual escalation towards a purposefully crafted climax.
It Ends With Us is out now in cinemas.
