The highly anticipated first trailer for It Ends With Us has finally been released, and it has caused quite a stir among film fans. Starring the talented Blake Lively as Lily Bloom and Justin Baldoni as Ryle Kincaid, the movie is based on the bestselling novel by Colleen Hoover. As the haunting tune of Taylor Swift's "My Tears Ricochet" plays in the background, we are given a glimpse into the passionate yet tumultuous love story between Lily and Ryle.
The trailer starts off with the couple falling deeply in love, but as the footage progresses, it becomes clear that their relationship is not as perfect as it seems. Ryle's violent behavior is slowly unveiled, and we see the devastating effects it has on Lily. To make matters even more complicated, Lily's first love, Atlas, reappears in her life, causing chaos in her already tumultuous relationship with Ryle.
In a voiceover, Lily's character shares, "We all have an idea of what love can be. That special connection you feel, that first kiss. But 15 seconds, that's all it takes to completely change everything." This sets the tone for the intense and emotional rollercoaster that is to come.
It Ends With Us is set to hit theaters in August and also features talented actors such as Jenny Slate, Hasan Minhaj, Amy Morton, and Brandon Sklenar. Interestingly, Justin Baldoni is not only starring in the movie but also serving as the director. However, despite the star-studded cast and highly anticipated release, the trailer has received some backlash on social media.
Some viewers have criticized the portrayal of abuse and the use of a love triangle trope. One Twitter user wrote, "Love triangles don't hit when one of the men is an abuser, I'm afraid." Others have expressed their disappointment in the way the trailer seemingly gives away too much of the plot in just two and a half minutes.
It Ends With Us was first published in 2016 and quickly gained popularity, with some readers even calling it "toxic." The success of the novel led to a sequel, It Starts With Us, which continues the story from where the first book left off.
The official synopsis for the movie reads, "It Ends With Us tells the compelling story of Lily Bloom, a woman who overcomes a traumatic childhood to pursue her dream of opening her own business in Boston. However, when she meets the charming neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid, their intense connection is threatened by Ryle's behavior, which reminds her of her parents' troubled relationship. And when Lily's first love, Atlas Corrigan, resurfaces, she must confront her past and make a difficult decision about her future."
Justin, best known for his role as Rafael in Jane the Virgin, has been working on this project for years. Author Colleen Hoover praised his efforts, saying, "The readers are the reason this book has been adapted, and I appreciate how much Justin wants to make sure those readers get the movie they deserve." She also added that she is confident viewers will be happy with the final product.
It Ends With Us is set to hit theaters on August 9th, and we can't wait to see how the story unfolds on the big screen. However, it's worth noting that the topic of domestic violence is a sensitive one, and the movie may not be suitable for everyone. For those who may need support or help, the National Domestic Violence Hotline, run by Refuge and Women's Aid, can be reached at 0808 2000 247. There are also helplines specifically for the LGBTQ+ community and male victims of domestic violence. Remember, help is always available if you need it.
