Blake Lively Says Moments With Her Family Are "All Over" 'It Ends With Us': "It's So Personal To Me"

"Motherhood influenced this — my own mother influenced this," she says. "I was lucky to be able to be involved in so many different aspects of movie, not just onscreen, on screen is the smallest amount of work that I did in this film to be honest. And I took the relationships with my mother and my sisters, or my children, and my feelings and I mean, it's all over this film."

While the A Simple Favor actress admits she'll never reveal the moments that made it into the movie, she's excited for her loved ones to experience it firsthand: "Moments we've had together, things we've said to each other. And I think that's why I feel so proud and it, and it's so personal me."

In addition to leading the cast, Lively served as a producer and (according to director Justin Baldoni), we can thank her for that Taylor Swift needle drop!

"All of her songs are great, we could have put any song up there," Lively tells The Hollywood Reporter when asked about including "My Tears Ricochet" from 2020's Folklore. "We could have done like a voice memo song, it would have been the best song to have ever been in a movie.”

While viewers all over the world won't come into It Ends With Us with the same behind-the-scenes knowledge, Blake Lively is excited to welcome everyone into the world of Lily Bloom.

"This story is told with empathy," she says. "It's never judging people for making the decisions they make and maybe making mistakes and showing people that there is a way out. And you're also OK for maybe not always making the right decision at the right time. You're still a good person, you're still valuable."
