“It Ends with Us” is an adaptation of a 2016 best-selling book by Colleen Hoover, which takes on the delicate subject of domestic abuse, wrapping horror in the warmth of romantic experiences. Director/co-star Justin Baldoni (“Clouds,” “Five Feet Apart”) hopes to sell iffy escapism to viewers, approaching the material (scripted by Christy Hall, “Daddio”) as a lesson on empowering behavior in the middle of traumatic events. It’s such a bizarre cocktail of messages and tones to begin with, leaving Baldoni to attempt to realize a literary event without truly touching on the dangers facing the main character, who should embark on a profound psychological journey. In the movie, she doesn’t, with the production turning the whole thing into a fashion show at times, while the violence at the core of the story is transformed into a game of reality, cheapening the very real stakes spousal abuse creates for those trapped in a dire situation of survival.
