It Ends With Us has way more trigger warnings than the trailers convey.
Lily doesnt expect to meet a super charming neurosurgeon named Ryle.
The two of them meet and fall in love very quickly, but all is not as it seems.

Lets take a look at some things thatIt Ends With Usdoes that may trigger survivors.
Ryle receives this pretty well as he just kind of walks off into the distance after being told.
This is not always the case.
Its in this time that stalking, threats, and potentially even more violence will occur.
The abuser misses that power dynamic they have over their victim and will do anything to get it back.
InIt Ends With Us, Lily walks away scot-free and moves on with her life.
This can be incredibly triggering to a survivor who has endured the post-leave violence and fear.
Hollywood Romanticizes Abuse As Passion
In the beginning of Ryle and Lilys relationship, he is relentless.
To Lily, this looks like an act of love and passion.
This is actually love-bombing andIt Ends With Usdoesnt call it that at all.
Once the abuser gets their victim,thats when the gaslighting begins.
Thats a big buzzword for masking what abuse can actually be.
Everyone wants passion, so call anything passion and it gets a pass.
It Ends With Usis in theaters and is set to be released for streaming in the near future.
