It Ends with Us gets lukewarm reaction: Blake Lively's romantic drama branded 'sincere but completely ludicrous' by critics


Blake Lively's new romantic drama, It Ends with Us, has received mixed reviews from critics. The film currently holds a 61% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Guardian's Benjamin Lee writes, 'It's a plot of hackneyed soap tropes but there’s a real maturity to how it unfolds, a story of abuse that’s far less obvious than we’ve grown accustomed to, the details far knottier than some might be comfortable with. 'It Ends With Us savors the trappings of a glossy love triangle: the banter, the flirting, the turbulence, the extravagant costumes,' Amy Nicholson of The Washington Post writes. Nicholson went on to state that 'even bouncing off male leads who are more pinball bumpers than dimensional characters,' Lively gave a 'great performance as a headstrong, sensible woman who struggles to consider herself a victim.'
