Blake Lively Finds Meaning in the Melodrama of ‘It Ends With Us’

Condé Nast
Summary

62% Informative

Blake Lively gives glowing voice and body to an old-fashioned issues drama, albeit one with decidedly modern embellishments.

Lively delicately calibrates Lily ’s guardedness; she is both a flower-loving, funky-dressing free spirit and a wounded soul.

Where the movie wanders into tricky territory is in its long view of reconciliation.

It Ends With Us is a tearjerker that indulges in its red-meat drama, but then gives it the grace of shading and complexity.

Atlas is a shaggy, pickup-driving former Marine turned soulful chef.

The film is prescriptive about gender roles of sturdy masculinity and frail bird femininity.
