Well, hello there, kind folks. If you’re visiting this blog of mine, I presume that you have a certain interest in the cinema. As for me, even since my early childhood, I have had a deep love of everything related to movies and television. As far as I can remember, I have been more at ease in front of a screen than in the yard, outside, playing. It is a great way to travel, though other people’s stories, without having to foot any kind of steep bill. Over the years, I feel that movie-watching has even fuelled my own creativity.

All that being said, I welcome you in my Cinephile’s Nest. I hope you enjoy it here, feel free to come back at any time. Here you will find reviews of current movies and older ones. TV shows also. Some classics that have remained some of my favourites, some that have disappointed me. I will use a very basic star (*) system to grade them from 1 to 5 (5 being sliced bread level). Remember, these are just my tastes. I will try to explain in each review what I liked about these particular movies, without giving spoilers.

Il y aura aussi des critiques en français pour les films francophones, car j'aime également le cinéma dans ma langue maternelle. Avant d'apprendre l'anglais, plus jeune, je louais des tonnes de films traduits en français, surtout ceux de Bud Spencer et Terrence Hill. Ma mère a eu le choc de sa vie lorsqu'un jour, dans la boîte d'un de ces films, Deep Throat avait malencontreusement inséré. Une expérience formatrice pour le jeune cinéphile que je suis.

Bienvenue à tous, amusez-vous bien.

I welcome you all here, enjoy yourself.

It Ends With Us (2024)

Genre: Romance / Drama
Directed by: Justin Baldoni
Cast: Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, Jenny Slate
Running Time: 130 minutes

 


Lily Bloom, a young woman who had a difficult childhood growing up in Maine, realizes her dream of opening her own flower shop in Boston. She meets neurosurgeon Kyle Kincaid and starts this passionate relationship with him. Their situation becomes tense and difficult once Lily’s childhood boyfriend, Atlas Corrigan, comes back in the picture.

This film, based on the Colleen Hover novel of the same name, seems to have been marred by controversy among the cast and the filmmakers. That being said, the product on screen is still very good. Sure, things seem to fall into place a little too easily in the story, but It Ends With Us is still a compelling look at the matter of domestic violence. A few of the lines have really stuck with me.
