abstract: This study, entitled “Domestic Violence in the film It Ends with Us (2024)”, 
analyzes the representation of domestic violence in the film It Ends with Us
(2024). The focus of this study is on how domestic violence is depicted and how 
the protagonist deals with domestic violence in It Ends with Us (2024). The story 
follows Lily as she builds a life in Boston and enters a relationship with Ryle 
Kincaid that eventually becomes abusive. She must decide whether to stay or 
break the cycle of violence for her future. The study uses a descriptive qualitative 
method, with data presented through film scenes, dialogue, narrative, and 
cinematography elements. In conducting the analysis, this study uses Margi Laird 
McCue’s (2008) theory of domestic violence. The results show that the film 
depicts domestic violence as a repeating cycle involving control, guilt, and 
manipulation. Furthermore, the film shows the protagonist’s journey toward 
recovery through self-awareness and support from social service providers, the 
healthcare system, and the justice system. The findings reveal that domestic 
violence is a serious social issue and emphasize that breaking the cycle is possible 
through personal strength and external support systems.
