The adaptation of the bestselling novel 'Just One More Time' has garnered mixed reviews, but the surrounding controversy has stirred significant public interest. The film is now accessible for streaming on Netflix in Germany. The narrative centers on Lily Bloom, portrayed by Blake Lively, who opens a flower shop in Boston following her father's death, seeking to put her traumatic childhood behind her. She soon encounters the charming neurosurgeon Ryle, played by Justin Baldoni, who also directed the film. As their passionate relationship unfolds, Lily begins to recall the abusive marriage of her parents. The situation intensifies with the unexpected return of her first love, Atlas, leading to a complex love triangle. Throughout the film, themes of domestic violence are prevalent, with Baldoni employing flashbacks to vividly illustrate the impact of Lily's traumatic youth, including scenes of parental abuse. Despite generating approximately $350 million in global box office revenue, the film has faced criticism for its superficial treatment of serious issues surrounding abusive relationships. The public's focus has not only been on the film's content but also on the contentious dynamics between its lead actors. Lively has faced accusations in various media outlets for allegedly promoting the film inappropriately given its serious themes. At its premiere last summer, reports indicated tensions between Lively and Baldoni, with the two avoiding joint appearances and rarely addressing each other in interviews. The controversy escalated when Lively filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Baldoni in December, alleging inappropriate behavior and comments that undermined her reputation. In response, Baldoni filed a defamation lawsuit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their shared publicist, accusing them of manipulating media narratives and undermining the film's production and marketing efforts. As the legal battle continues, the two actors may find themselves in court as early as March 2026, with a New York judge urging both parties to refrain from further public commentary that could sway potential jurors. The outcome of these legal proceedings could have significant implications not only for the individuals involved but also for the broader discussion surrounding the film and its themes.
