It Ends with Us was originally released in cinemas in August 2024, before its Netflix debut in the US in December. From today, UK viewers can watch the romantic drama on Sky Cinema, or with a Cinema membership on streaming service NOW.
In our review, Digital Spy awarded the movie three stars, writing: "It Ends With Us is a pretty satisfying adaptation that will please fans, although it is far from flawless.
What to Read Next
"This is not an in-depth study of domestic violence (although bringing the conversation into the mainstream, in whatever form, holds value), but more like an emotionally cathartic melodrama in the vein of recently successful romance BookTok sensations and Nicholas Sparks' legacy.
"Some viewers might wish It Ends With Us was more than it is, but ultimately the movie can't escape what was on the page. For better or worse."

The review highlights Lively's "notable performance as Lily", adding that she is "at the heart of this adaptation". Baldoni is praised for playing "the lethally attractive and dangerously tormented man to perfection".
Following the movie's cinematic release, there were reports of an on-set feud between producer Lively and director Baldoni. The pair did not appear together for press interviews, sparking rumours of tension behind the scenes.
It Ends With Us is available to watch on Sky Cinema and NOW.
