Nur noch ein einziges Mal

I normally don't take to reading IMDb reviews and when I do I rarely agree with them, with that being said I wholeheartedly agree with every review that is giving the film the same score as I am if not a tad bit lower. Having grown up in an abusive household, the film did hit pretty close to home. Ryle Kincaid (Jason Baldoni) gave a stellar performance which genuinely encapsulates how unpredictable an abuser can be and how manipulative an abuser can be in a dv (domestic violence) relationship. With that being said that's where the entire score for my review comes from; baldoni's performance and direction.

Blake Lively (Lily Bloom) went ahead and gave us basically nothing. There were moments during her performance I thought she had something, and then she lost it as simple as that. It felt like we as the audience were there more so for her outfits and hair than we were for her performance. Reading up on articles that state people have noticed two different films mixed into one, I couldn't help but agree with that. Baldoni's direction was centered around portraying an accurate picture of dv, and actually showing us the viewers this depiction, whereas Blake's version of the movie (as per sources) comes in through her one dimensional performance, weird placement of music in scenes that didn't require the music and if they did the music was just off and again showing us her outfits and luscious hair.

I sincerely hope that if there is a baldoni cut of this film that it gets the light of day as the film I watched just didn't quite do it for me.

Ok film, that is in need of a real leading actress. The leadimg actress can't act and it takes away so much from the film and the experience. Lily is the main character and she is one dimensional.

The story in the film doesn't make it justice to what it should transmit to the viewers. They tried to romanticize violence and bat an eye to the important stuff. We need the director's cut.

This film should not have been tampered with just to comply with a greedy actress who bullied the director, main male actor and executive producer to get her way and in doing so ruined the whole experience for everyone specially fans of the book.

The film itself is great. Most actors did their part well. There are some twists in the way story is told, though it isn't difficult to guess where it was going.

The only thing that really bothered me was the character of Lily Bloom. Oh my god, Blake Lively has seriously ruined some scenes. Her acting was too cringe and annoying boring rather than bad... she made me feel like some part of the Gossip Girls were put in there randomly. Not sure why they picked her for the female lead as there are so many other talented actresses out there, who could made much much more impact portraying Bloom, like Margaret Qualley?!

Another actress should have been casted as Lily. A costume director was required to style Lily. Ryle was great. Lily's mother needed more space in the movie, as well as the story between young Lily and Atlas. Should have inserted more content from the book and presented the characters as the book. Lastly, should have been marketed properly. The story is about domestic violence, and viewers should have been informed as such. Some viewers were surprised during the movie and not in a good way. I want to see the director's version of the movie, since we were shown the producer's version. I hope they release it.

I wish Director Baldoni would release his cut of the movie. It scored well above Lively's horrible cut that was released. How that happened is tragic.lLively took over and refused to promote the movie if her editing was not accepted. She absolutely took over this movie and ruined it. She would not allow Baldoni, the lead actor and director, to appear iin any promotion of HIS movie. Who would want to work with her after all the receipts he has provided. Go look at Perez Hilton on Instagram. He has all the details.it was a very good book that sought to educate in domestic violence, but the movie was taken over by her vanity and absurd need to self aggrandize.
