IT ENDS WITH US: The movie starts with beautiful glimpses of the Cancamagus Highway in Maine in Fall where the female protagonist is seen visiting her parental home after her abusive father’s demise. It does not affect her much and at the eulogy GTG she fails to come up with even one good comment about her father. Unable to soak in the dull and drub home environment, she settles in Boston and becomes a florist. Since her name is Lily Bloom matching her profession she quickly gains friends and dates. She hops and skips from one relationship to another and settles in holy matrimony with a John Abraham lookalike who is as abusive as her father. It is good to see good old Charles river with its famous duck tour amphibian vehicles and the Harvard bridge connecting Boston and Cambridge. It’s surprising to see that Lily gets dates so easily when half of Boston single women are attending Mathew Hussey’s tutorial to get their acts right. The movie is dialogue heavy and the random adult scenes might make one think its a load of soft porn and quite unsettling for the conservative non voyeurs. Until the final reel of the movie you do not get the plot and which bloke she will choose at the “end”. Mr. Deep Gaze wants to bed her and she declares that her focus is on her newborn child and that is the only relationship she cares for. Like a true Hollywood movie, it doesn’t end like a Greek tragedy and the up-tempo climax strikes a chord with the millions of single mothers worldwide who choose the company of their children more than a man coz blood is thicker than any circumstance. Good for a one time watch for adults exclusively.
