Amor Em Foco

This movie is a feel-good light movie with very little drama.

The plot is okay although it could have been made better by having great script writing and storytelling yet they did wonderful with the amazing views of landscape and I really loved the lighting and the filter of this movie especially with every scene of the girl.

To me, it just felt like they focused more on the visuals of the actress and scenery more than the whole story and the acting as it lacked to connect with the viewers.

Still, this is an okay movie to watch if you want to watch an undramatic romantic movie with beautiful landscapes.

The meddling grandmothers of Sahra and Deniz have decided enough is enough. Their two grandchildren were the best of friends growing up, until one summer when it seems that they could have been more, and afterwards it's clear to everyone that they are avoiding one another. Sahra has a rival at work and is desperate to get an exclusive interview with a reluctant and reclusive photographer. Coincidentally and unbeknownst to Sahra, Deniz is the reclusive photographer she is desperate to interview. The meddling grandmother's bring the two to their neighboring homes at the same time to attempt to get them talking again...and ultimately nature takes its course.

Ekin Koc, who plays Deniz, really makes this movie for me. His character is very romantic and how he shares his continued love for Sahra just squeezed my heart. Absolutely gorgeous seaside backdrop for this romance and Ayça Aysin Turan who plays Sahra is lovely.

I think fans of romance will enjoy this story and it is a recommendation to those romantics who are ok watching a film in Turkish.

This review is based on watching this film in it's original Turkish language with English subtitles.

An absolutely wonderful summer romance! Light, sweet and brings all the good feels of a great rom-com! The acting was first rate! The cinematography beautiful! Really enjoyed that the movie focused on the two main characters, Sahra and Deniz, though there were strong contributions by the supporting cast. As all rom-coms, the audience knows that the story ending will be a happy one. But that doesn't take away from the romance that unfolds and brings the story together.

Highly recommend the movie for everyone!

The Turkish title to the movie is Sen Inandir. Not to be confused with Inandir Beni.

It's a beautiful movie. Simply but beautifully narrated. With exquisite performances and extraordinary scenery. Ekin a very talented actor who shows his facet in a romantic comedy . As for Ayça, who in addition to being extremely beautiful, does a very good job giving Sahar a touch of charisma and sweetness.

It's the romantic comedy you can't stop watching.

The work of the team is very good since they turned a simple story into a beautiful narrative that makes you remain trapped and with the need to see much more. It is highly recommended I hope you can enjoy as I did. I invite you to see it you will not regret it.

6.2/10 (Recommend)

This is a cute Turkish film that falls within the parameters of a Hallmark film without strictly being called a Hallmark film. The chemistry between the leads Ayça Aysin Turan (Sahra) and Ekin Koç is perfect. From the moment of the their reunion to the moment of their bond is all built up beautifully. The film still holds a certain cheesiness to it, but it works. I truly enjoyed the exoticness of not the middle of nowhere USA. For me it's hard to grasp the full emotion of the film as I get distracted from reading the subtitles, but I catch myself appropriately and the emotional moments are still touching despite having to switch between reading words and seeing the visual cues.

Thanks to a friend I've been trying to get myself more into foreign films and expand my genres and taste. This is one film I am definitely happy I checked out. It's perfect for a cuddle night on the couch. The build-up is good and the story works out to a tee. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a romcom that's a little fresh.

That's all for now. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. Until next time.... Enjoy the show!
