Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s controversial romance flick has landed on streaming (Picture: AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Blake Lively<\/a>’s latest movie has been at the centre of a ferocious legal battle<\/a> for months\u2014and now you can see what all the fuss is about.<\/p>\n

The Gossip Girl alum stars opposite Justin Baldoni in the screen adaptation of Colleen Hoover<\/a>’s romance novel, It Ends With Us.<\/p>\n

She plays Lily Bloom, who moves to Boston<\/a> following a traumatic upbringing, hoping to start her own business.<\/p>\n

There, she strikes up a fiery connection with charming neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid (Baldoni), but is ultimately left with a major dilemma when her first love comes back in the picture…<\/p>\n

It Ends With Us was released into cinemas on August 9 last year and has grossed an impressive $351million (\u00a3275m) at the box office.<\/p>\n

For those who didn’t get to see it on the big screen, though, you’re in luck.<\/p>\n
