Love Likes Coincidences (2011)

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!

Fmovies: Okay first of all, if you are a romantic person this movie will be your best selection. However, even if you are not, this movie will be again your best selection. A fantastic drama romantic story that left me mouth-open for an hour after I finished it. The acting is unbelievably true to the extent you live the story yourself. If there is more than 10 on ranking I would have gone for that option.

I am older and have been watching movies for six decades. From start to finish, this movie gripped me emotionally. The range of emotion extended well beyond anything I have ever experienced from a cinematic work. I would not call it "cheesy" or criticize that there were too many coincidences. One way or the other, the storyline reaches down and touches the viewer deeply.

Love Likes Coincidences fmovies. I remember seeing this movie in İstanbul and crying my eyes out of their balls since I was in great despair to be away from my family who lived in Ankara. Though a bit ordinary, I really like the story and how it was processed. It is true that there some logical errors but I could not help but getting lost in the story and realizing these errors after the movie. Mehmet Günsür is irrefutably a very good actor, or let's say, he has become one recently. However, I strongly detest Berçim Erdoğan's acting. Not only in this movie! In short, it is a very good Ankara movie which is capable of touching the hearts of people who spent time in Ankara in the 90s.

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 :)
