It Ends with Us

I am very aware that I am not the target audience for this film, but I am very partial to love stories. Overall, I had decent expectations with how much buzz this was getting but was left overall disappointed. A movie with a heavy topic, but I think I struggled to let it hit hard. I hear about all these people having good cry’s throughout the movie and it should come as no surprise that a tough guy like myself didn’t cry, but in reality I don’t even know where I was supposed to. Along with that, it is a ‘blockbuster’ at its core and I did love the needle drops. I think the music drew me in when it was getting stale, but I do recognize that this is a cheap way to engage the audience. Overall, if you read the book I am sure it is great and you should see it, but I was left feeling like this was a fine film.
