It Ends With Us

I just saw the movie “It Ends With Us.”

I knew nothing about it or the author. I thought the cover looked nice. I’m a Survivor of DV and CSA. This movie made me sick. The way they portrayed the emotional, verbal, and physical abuse as something shiny is beyond awful. It subverts the reality of DV. And, of course, it’s disguised as a romantic drama- comedy with no warning about the brutality contained within this author’s wretched story. It’s too bad; it could have helped DV survivors instead of glamorizing them, their suffering, and their generational trauma.
