Our take
It Ends with Us follows a woman whose charming new relationship turns abusive, while a first love returns. You get partner violence, some sex, funerals, drinking, and a past suicide attempt. The tone is romantic drama, not horror, but the hitting is the point. Fine for 13+ who can sit with domestic abuse. Talk it through
Uplifting themes
Leaving harm and choosing a safer life is treated as possible, not easy Friends show up. The lead has to decide for herself
Story (may spoil tone)
When a woman's first love suddenly reenters her life, her relationship with a charming, but abusive neurosurgeon is upended, and she realizes she must learn to rely on her own strength to make an impossible choice for her future.
