This first movie adaptation of a Colleen Hoover novel is on the small screen now.
It Ends With Us landed in theaters in August as a live-action version of the story of Lily Bloom, a young entrepreneur who leaves her small town to forge a path in a new city. She’s swept off her feet by a man named Ryle, who is charismatic and smart yet arrogant and strong-willed. Their relationship takes a dark turn. Thoughts of her hometown first love, Atlas, start to surface just as life with Ryle settles, changes and reaches a tipping point. Taking place in the present day and through flashbacks, It Ends With Us is an emotional and heartbreaking tale.
The film stars Blake Lively as Lily, Justin Baldoni as Ryle and Brandon Sklenar as Atlas, with Isabela Ferrer and Alex Neustaedter featured as younger versions of Lily and Atlas. Hoover’s novel was first published in 2016, and it’s taken several years to get it to the big screen.
