Post Strike Cinema 24' - It Ends with Us

Blake Lively is taking on her husband at the box office. Deadpool & Wolverine VS It Ends with Us. Two totally different films, however both have strong sales.

I saw It Ends with Us, peak Saturday date night time with three friends. It was a sell out on Extreme Screen.

It Ends with Us is romantic drama film directed by and starring hunky Justin Baldoni.

Based on the 2016 novel of the same name by Colleen Hoover. alongside Lively & Baldoni, Brandon Sklenar, Jenny Slate, & Hasan Minhaj also star.

Lily Bloom (Lively) has always known the life she wants. While living in Boston, she meets neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid (Baldoni) & believes she may very well have found her soul mate.

With a solid soundtrack with familiar tunes by Birdy, Lana Del Ray, Taylor Swift, Fatboy Slim and man of the moment, Post Malone. This helps create emotions, feeling from the audience with these big tunes.

It is an emotional rollercoaster this film. It has everything to draw in the college girl audience. The date night audience. Although the film covers touchy subjects. Date nights might not end well once the credits roll.

Domestic violence is an important topic. It is covered well, with a sensitive approach.

I had little to no expectations about this film. Meaning I was pleasantly surprised. Lively's wardrobe and floral store alone, needs to be scene to be believed.

Lively could be the most successful cast member of Gossip Girl (including the latest HBO MAX version) of all time. Although Chace Crawford as the Deep is hot AF in The Boys.

So do I recommend this to you dear readers. 100% yes. We (in Australia) have a massive issue with domestic violence. Whilst it's hard to hear truths like this. It is true. Like we drink too much, love sports gambling and yes we are racist. Sorry but the truth, like facing domestic violence is a hard pill to swallow.

It Ends with Us, Blake Lively and the cast/crew do a great job with this film. I was surprised walking out of the cinema thinking just how brilliant this film was.

I'm going big this time, 4 Stars.
