It Ends with Us

In Boston, she opens her own flower shop and meets charming neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid (Justin Baldoni). They develop a romantic relationship, but tension arises due to Ryle's reluctance to have children. The situation becomes more complicated when Lily's first love, Atlas Corrigan (Brandon Sklenar), reenters her life, bringing back memories of their troubled past. Lily faces a difficult choice between her past and present, striving to understand her feelings and avoid repeating her parents' mistakes. The film received positive reviews from critics, who praised its deep exploration of domestic violence themes and strong performances, particularly by Lively and Sklenar.
