Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
has been all over the news since its release earlier this month, and not for good reasons. Director and lead actor Justin Baldoni reportedly had a much different vision for the, a crucial element of the story, during her press tour. “Grab your friends, wear your florals, and head out to see it,” she said of the movie that features a woman getting pushed down the stairs by her husband.
Hoover was 2 when her mother left her father, saving Hoover from the trauma of growing up in an abusive household. That’s a powerful story. It just turns out the fiction isn’t very good., Hoover’s overt sentimentality is visible from the get-go as she dares to answer the question, “Is nominative determinism real?” by creating a character named Lily Blossom Bloom who opens a flower shop. Really. The film’s self-aware nods to the silliness don’t make it any better.
In the book, Lily is 23 and fresh out of college when she opens the shop, and her paramour, Ryle, is an impossibly young 30-year-old neurosurgeon. It is this plot hole that causes the film’s timeline to shift some 10 years into the future, and it’s also the reason its dialogue falls so flat. And while the narrative is creatively framed — we see the abuse through Lily’s eyes, where at first it seems to be an accident but later the truth becomes clear — the film doesn’t seem to think its viewers are deserving of a fully fleshed-out story when a soundtrack featuring Taylor Swift and a cautionary tale about domestic violence will do.
