'It Ends with Us' Struggled to Meaningfully Engage with the Subject of Abuse, but These Films Do
Briefly

Baldoni emphasized the film's focus on love, hope, and empowerment, steering away from acknowledging the profound trauma resulting from the character's abusive relationship.
The discussions surrounding the film largely ignore its central themes of domestic violence, instead fixating on the alleged personal conflicts between cast members.
Movies addressing domestic abuse should challenge audiences with difficult themes, provoking reflection rather than neatly wrapping up sensitive subjects.
Baldoni aimed to create a protective character arc for Lily without judging her, prioritizing her journey over a more nuanced portrayal of trauma.
