5 english reviews of It Ends With Us (2024)

1. We Got This Covered

8 / 10

"It Ends With Us" isn’t supposed to be a comfortable film. It wants us to radically compartmentalize our ideas about love and relationships, and it wants us to do so with steely compassion.

7 / 10

"It Ends With Us" is an occasionally schlocky and saccharine novel, but Justin Baldoni’s film adaptation uses an ace script and stellar performances – particularly that of lead Blake Lively – to elevate Colleen Hoover’s story to its cinematic peak.

6.3 / 10

"It Ends With Us" is glittery and traumatic.

4. Time Out

6 / 10

This smart and sensitive movie version will more than satisfy the millions who’ve picked it up and found a bible of sorts for abuse survivors.

5. Los Angeles Times

5 / 10

Baldoni’s stylistic approach to crafting Hoover’s world is to offer the romantic escapist fantasy inherent to the literary and cinematic genre: elaborate costume and production design, luxe interiors, a Boston where it mysteriously never snows, extensive courtship and seduction montages set to contemporary indie ballads.

7 foreign reviews of It Ends With Us (2024)

1. Moviezine

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: A popular book about a destructive relationship turned into a small, inoffensive love drama. The runtime is a little too long, but hang in there, as the strong emotions come in the end.

2. Aftonbladet

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: "It Ends With Us" is partly about daring to love, but also about daring to leave. A romantic drama where the heart truly rhymes with pain.
- Jens Peterson

Translated from swedish: Gripping and romantic "It Ends With Us" capture the violence that is passed down.

5. Uppsala Nya Tidning

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: A gripping relationship portrayal and proof that the romantic film is in an educational era.

6. Cinetaste

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: I'd say it's a decent enough film, albeit a bit too long, but it does its job for its target audience. Not something I'll be watching again, but I suspect it'll be a moderate success at the cinema since most evening showings are already sold out.
- Linus Andersen

7. Göteborgs-Posten

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: A thin story about a vital topic, namely destructive relationships and what must constantly be pointed out, namely that it is seldom as easy to get out of such a relationship as questions like "But why don't you just leave him?" suggest. Pity.
