Nur noch ein einziges Mal

I honestly feel the hate this movie is getting is unwarranted. I personally wouldn't nominate it for any awards, but I enjoyed watching it. I read the book and I felt it was pretty true to the original story. At no point did I roll my eyes due to poor writing - nothing in the writing was distractingly bad. I also think the actors all did a good job. I didn't want to like the actor who played Ryle, but I came around to him. The casting was honestly pretty perfect. I am a Blake Lively fan, and I feel she performed just as well in this as she usually does. I would say I got exactly what I expected from this movie, and nothing more or less.

If I were Justin Baldoni I would redo the film without Blake. She was not a good fit for Lily. When you have a book that centres around domestic violence you really need to have the characters playing them believable and Blake was definitely not believable. She couldn't even promote the film properly. What does that tell you.

It's also so very sad to watch everything that is going on in the media right now, concerning this film and all the players. Not only have they tarnished their own careers but everyone else involved as well. No one wants to hear about a he said she said kind of argument. I get it that there is a lot at stake but to what cost. Like I said, Justin Baldoni... you need to recast this film and put it back out there.

Lot of potential here but as someone who lived through A LOT of domestic violence situations, watching Hollywood make it artsy so mainstream audiences can "handle it" to me really misses the mark of helping people understand what it feels like. I really enjoyed what this film tried to do but do not feel like it translated well to the big screen. Sure they were attempting to show gaslighting and whatnot, but I think you, the audience should have felt more powerful emotional response to what you were witnessing. I think we needed to hear more of the pain vs the silent flashbacks. Perhaps this could of been a part 1 and part 2 where in part 1 we stay in lillys high school years and learn more about her unstable home life and get a chance to bond with the character. Just wanted more than the film gave. At least it's creating an important narrative that isn't option talked about. Its a start...

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.

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.
