Die Kunst, ein Herz zu stehlen

Where do I even begin? Buckle up, dear reader, because Love of Art is a cinematic train wreck I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

The "thrilling" plot was as predictable as sun rising from the east. The movie was full of clichés, with zero character development, zero attention to pacing the story and zero focus on important moments. The "chemistry" between the lead actors was about as sizzling as a wet firecracker. Their forced interactions were painful to watch, and dialogue so clichéd it could have been written by a fortune cookie machine.

Then there's the direction. Imagine a middle school play directed by an overenthusiastic student council president. That's the vibe I got. The action sequences were so poorly choreographed I could've planned a better fight scene with a sock puppet show.

Honestly, the only thrilling aspect of this movie was the sheer audacity of it existing. Save yourself the wasted brain cells and avoid this cinematic catastrophe. You're welcome.

In all seriousness, it amazes me how Netflix agreed to put their name behind such nonsense. But then the quality of Netflix originals isn't the same as it used to be.

The plot is so overused in many movies and video clips and they gave the worst version of it.

The movie is more like a tourism advertisement for beautiful places, they focused more on the cinematography which was the only positive thing for me, but in an exaggerated way The name doesn't meet the content (Romance & comedy nerde !!!!!!!??????) + the acting level is low and boring. I've watched Birkan in (Masumlar Apartmani,Hayat Sarkisi and Yüz Yillik Mucize) and Esra (Ertugrul,Ramo) before their performances were way too better, here seems like they are faking it!

Their chemistry is 6/10 beautiful but not wow.

The movie had an interesting premise, but the execution fell flat. The script felt rushed and full of holes, with awkward dialogue and predictable plot points. It honestly felt like a poorly written teen novel from Wattpad. The story itself was full of clichés and didn't offer any surprises. Even though the lead actors were attractive, there was absolutely no spark between them. Their characters lacked depth and showed no growth throughout the film. It was hard to care about them as individuals or as a couple. Even the beautiful locations couldn't save the movie from its boring plot and weak acting.

This is a movie for those that are curious about international productions that are presented in order to appeal the majority of spectators. It has a style that I'd compare to many American projects; that is, it is cinematic, contains a few action scenes, and has a score that elevates the final product. Taking place Istanbul and Prague, the viewer gets to discover multiple landscapes, different sets, and is immersed in a fictional universe that transports you from the comfort of your home to these cities. I'd recommend this to those that are opened to embrace what international markets have to provide cinematically.

I'm going to write this review in a way that avoids giving any spoilers at all. Here goes...the one-line plot summary sounded good, but it turns out the way the lackluster and hole-filled script - dialogue, transitions, important moments - was written and executed seemed as though it was pulled off a teenager's even-worse-than-mediocre Wattpad fanfic page.

The plot is contrived nonsense, and by about 10 minutes in, you know exactly what's going to happen. There's zero suspense, only predictability littered with boring cliches along the way.

There is zero chemistry between the lead actors. They are both very good looking, but there's zero fire, passion, or electricity between them. Zero character depth or growth throughout the film. Zero investment in the characters individually or as a "couple."

The shooting locations were beautiful. That's the only positive, hence the one star.

I have to say that I was most shocked at how bad the performance of the lead actress was. I discovered Esra Bilgiç through her role as Sibel on Ramo a few years ago, and she was absolutely legendary. Her talent then was the complete opposite of what I watched here, and it was extremely disappointing. I hope she will re-hone her acting skills, and then go back to taking on valuable, legendary roles instead of cheap, vulgar, contrived, forgettable trash characters like Alin.

Skip it.
