Not to mention the layers of drama surrounding the cast and their disagreements over the directional choices of the film. Rumour has it that tensions ran high on set, with some actors reportedly clashing over how certain scenes should be portrayed. These off-screen dynamics have only added to the film's already complicated reception, as fans and critics alike speculate on how these creative differences might have influenced the final product.
But anyway, let’s get into it!

There’s a level of cringe I can tolerate when it comes to movies like It Ends With Us because there’s something unapologetic about films like this. They’re not trying to be a Christopher Nolan masterpiece or redefine cinema as we know it. They’re here for the plot, the ticket sales, the star-studded cast, the romance and all those angsty vibes – and honestly, I live for that! Sometimes you just want a film that leans into the drama without pretending to be anything more than what it is.

But to make the main character an aspiring florist called Lily Bloom? Like, come on, Colleen! She thought she ate when she was writing that up. I literally had my jaw on the floor when she introduced herself to Ryle. Speaking of, don’t even get me started on Ryle Kincaid, the neurosurgeon with the social calendar of a university student. He is somehow always available for dinner dates, parties, bowling and spontaneous adventures. Like, in what world does a brain surgeon have that much free time?

The real star of the show, though, was Jenny Slate, who played Ryle’s sister, Allysa. From her perfect styling to her vibrant personality and her role as Lily’s best friend, she quite literally carried the movie on her back. Allysa is the epitome of an unapologetically wealthy Upper East Side wife who, out of sheer boredom, stumbles into an empty shop looking for a job – not because she needs one, but because she’s bored of doing nothing. And let’s not forget the moment she meticulously wipes down a surface before setting her Hermès bag down. Slay.
