As a movie about domestic abuse, it was necessary and portrayed a poignant message about breaking the cycle and leaving.
As a movie based on the book It Ends with Us, it was nothing like the book.
The book contains a powerful plot line, an excellent protagonist and difficult and complex characters with a world of emotions. The film had none of that, all the relationships are lost, the deep and meaningful moment and parts of the story are changed and it didn’t seem to have anything to do with a story I read in 5 days.
I loved the book and think it is an important message to spread and with that I also enjoyed the book and loved seeing everything develop and come together. The movie was nothing compared to the book.
An emotional book became an emotionless movie and it was really disappointing for me. However I am glad that such a difficult topic is being talked about and explored. I’m glad the story is out there, even if the movie wasn’t that good.
