Ask Tesadüfleri Sever

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.

A good love movie. Those living in Ankara will love the movie extra. It may be nice to see the well-known places in Ankara. While Ankara scenes were emotional and beautiful, Istanbul scenes generally contained chaos. The art direction of the childhood scenes is neither bad nor very good. It's like a TV series. But the car accident scene was very good. Even a foreign team may have pulled it off.

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!
