Love Likes Coincidences

I have made this account a few minutes ago...I thought I have so much to say about the story of this movie,about my review here...But now I find myself speechless... And I must specify,I'm not a great fan of love movies.Plus,I was against movies in other languages but English.I have decided this evening to try it anyway. But this one...the most beautiful film I have ever seen! It made me wonder if such coincidences happened in my life or in the life of my friends,family...I was planning to watch another movie after this one,but I don't wanna do it anymore.I want to go to sleep with these feelings,with this story in my head. I'm not so easy to impress generally,specially about love movies and dramas. Well,this one got me!

I saw this movie yesterday in London. The main pleasure I took from it was to see that Mehmet Günsür has become a very good actor.

I have seen him last time in an Ozpetek's movie called "Hamam-The Turkish bath" in 1997, he was very young at that time, but I remember he showed a very good performance even there in a supporter role (Alessandro Gassman was the lead character).

Going back to Ask Tesadufleri Sever, the translation of the title in English should be "Love likes coincidences" and I must say the writers went a little bit too far with the coincidences stuff making the plot too unrealistic and sometimes ridicule.

And that is a shame because the good acting (Günsür, Yigit Özsener and the actress who plays Günsür mother) and the beautiful locations of both Ankara and Istanbul could make this movie a little pearl to compete with international titles.

Worthy to be watched for the good acting and for Ankara's and Istanbul's views, but be prepared to the disappointing and sometime painful script.

I'm trying to watch many foreign movies to get introduced to different cultures. Plus, Hollywood does not interest me as much as it used to be.

However, I've never thought of watching a Turkish movie before because I'm not a fan of Turkish series so I thought why should I.

Anyways, let me tell something. I'm glad I've changed my mind and I'm glad I picked this one.

Hence the title, this movie is FULL of coincidences! So if you are too stuck to reality, don't watch it cause it will be shallow, silly and full of nonsense! Let us dreamers enjoy it

TBH, lots of what happened in the movie is considered to be crazy coincidences but that did not ruin it for me. Love is a strange thing, is it not?

The lead actor and actress did a great job not to mention the lovely chemistry between the two of them. You can feel their love, I'm serious :)

Firstly I've never watched a Turkish film before, in fact never one other than that's come from Hollywood or either Britain. We found this on Netflix and the description of the film sounded good so we thought we would give it a go. Needless to say this film left us speechless, it is an absolute gem. The main actress is better than anything we have seen in the west and the story is light years ahead of most films in recent history. Hollywood could learn a lot from the people who made this. A masterpiece!

Among many movies in my wish-list this was one of them. But due to not being in English language as well as not being highly rated I hadn't watched it for a long time. But one day I found this review from Google and after watching it I think I will give the exact same review to everyone whom I recommend.

Google review by user "subhash 2909" - "this movie is really underrated...even 9/10 doesn't seem enough to this movie.....give it a try and i bet u don't regret after watching...pictures like these are rare...mind blowing screenplay..just watch it undoubtedly.i assure you that this would be your fav movie after watching it."

If you are a fan of romantic genre movies then I would say this is a movie with different story, superb acting and last but not the least a must watch one!
