Our take
It Ends with Us follows a woman whose charming new relationship turns abusive, while a first love returns. Expect 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

Talk after watching
- Charm and harm can arrive in the same person. How do you tell the difference?
- Friends and family see pieces of the truth. Who is allowed to say something?
- Leaving is treated as strength. What support would you want someone to have?
