It Ends with Us is the story of Lily Bloom, a flower shop owner in Boston with a tragic backstory. Lily grew up with an abusive father who has, as we join the story, recently passed away. His death has brought back a lot of the worst parts of Lily’s childhood. With that, Lily sets out on a new path. She’s moved to Boston, bought a storefront, and is intending to live her dream of growing and selling beautiful flowers. Naturally, she’s going to fall in love as without that, there is no movie to be called It Ends With Us.
Enter Rye Kincaid, played by writer-director-and actor, Justin Baldoni. He’s a hunk of a man. Muscled up, soulful, he’s a doctor, and he has the kind of permanent five o’clock shadow that is some kind of genetic miracle for how it always looks the same. He must have been born with it. He’s also a walking red flag as he is introduced in the angriest possible way, kicking a chair on a rooftop so hard it flies like a football off of a tee. Lily happens to witness this childish outburst but this guy’s chin is so perfectly sculpted that she’s willing to overlook his needless violence.
