Adapted from the popular Colleen Hoover novel of the same name, It Ends With Us follows Lily Bloom (Lively) as she finds herself in an abusive relationship with neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid (Justin Baldoni). Despite the film's serious theme, the promotional tour sold an entirely different story — as it focused largely on It Ends With Us' flowery, romantic elements as well as Lively's creative involvement.
Lively appeared to acknowledge the criticism Tuesday by publishing a statement to her Instagram Story along with a violence against women PSA. 'Thank you to everyone who came out to show that people WANT to see films about women and the multitudes we hold. It Ends With Us is a story of the female experience.
All the highest highs, and lowest lows. And we are so proud of it,' penned the Gossip Girl alum. She continued: 'We have been in celebration of this film and of getting a message so important out there to the masses.
