Netflix just added a major new movie to the popular streaming service. "It Ends with Us" was one of this year's most-anticipated releases for many people. Starring Blake Lively and based on a 2016 Colleen Hoover novel of the same, this romantic drama seemed destined for success.
By one measure, it absolutely succeeded. The movie brought in $350 million at the box office, making it one of 2024's biggest hits. And yet, by another measure, this movie may have missed the mark. Namely, many people didn't like it. The movie scored a meager 58% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. Some also criticized it for its handling of the sensitive subject matter that the movie's plot is centered around — more on that later.
