''In the future, if you think you are capable of falling in love again, fall in love with me.''-Atlas. This Is How It Ends (2024)

The film adaptation of “That's How It Ends”, based on Colleen Hoover's best seller, brings a more mature approach. Unlike what many fans expected, the film is not about the romance with Atlas, but rather about the complex relationships that permeate the life of Lily, the protagonist, played by Blake Lively. Directed by Justin Baldoni, who also stars in the film alongside Lively.

Plot of ''That's How It Ends''

The film takes place predominantly in the present, but intersperses with flashbacks to Lily Bloom's (Blake Lively) childhood and adolescence. Through these memories, the viewer is taken back to a past marked by trauma, where Lily faced the challenges of growing up in an unstable home, with an aggressive father who physically abused her mother. At the beginning of the film, Lily returns to her hometown after her father's death. With a now quirky and eccentric mother, she revisits her old room, a place that awakens in her a wave of emotions and memories, reopening past wounds and bringing to the surface long-repressed feelings.

Upon meeting Ryle (Justin Baldoni), a neurosurgeon, Lily is immediately attracted to him, now living in Boston, determined to fulfill her dream of opening a flower shop. During the process of organizing the store, she meets Allysa, who quickly becomes her best friend. In the end, Lily and Ryle resulted in a relationship. As the relationship progresses, Lily begins to understand more clearly the complexity of the situation she finds herself in, bringing back memories of her adolescence, when she experienced intense love with Atlas (Brandon Sklenar). With the return of this old love, Lily finds herself faced with the need to understand and consider the true situations of her current life, leading her to a deep reflection on her feelings and choices.

The film's fidelity to the book

Overall, the film presents a decent adaptation, maintaining good fidelity to the book. However, while in the original work the characters are described in a way that leads the reader to imagine them as younger and, at times, immature, the film version chooses to portray them in a more adult and conscious way. This choice seems to have been made with the aim of making the story more relevant and accessible to a wider audience, bringing a more mature perspective to the complex issues addressed in the plot.

Film aesthetics

With careful photography and well-crafted colorimetry, the film manages to convey a visual aesthetic that complements the essence of the protagonist. The color palette and lighting choices not only embellish the narrative, but also serve as an extension of Lily's emotional journey. In scenes set in her childhood bedroom, for example, soft, warm tones evoke a sense of nostalgia and vulnerability, while in more intense moments, darker, cooler colors reflect the character's internal tension or even her current moment in life.

Conclusion

Touching, the story relies on generic and predictable clichés, which can dilute part of its emotional impact. Still, the plot is well constructed and manages to maintain narrative cohesion, addressing delicate topics such as toxic relationships and the strength needed to overcome them. However, the exploration of these often needs the depth they deserve, leaving an approach to certain emotional triggers open and varying the intensity of the experience according to the personal experiences of each viewer. The biggest highlight of the film is the development of Lily's character, which is a journey explored with more nuances and depth. His narrative arc stands out, offering a more detailed view of his emotions and decisions, although the film as a whole could benefit from a richer exploration of the other characters and themes.
