Make Me Believe

Turkish cinematology is on the rise and Netflix's new movie Make Me Believe - filmed in the beautiful northwestern Turkey is the perfect romantic Friday night movie.

Sahra and Deniz used to be childhood friends, hanging out at their grandma's house but now years later they meet again and they despise each other. Their meddling grannies try all sort of tricks to bring the two together. Will they succeed?

I like the non complicated storyline and the realistic personalities of the characters and the beauty of Turkey is absolutely overwhelming. The emotions were not all over the place (as it happens so often in other Turkish movies), the main characters slowly let us see into their hearts and motivations.

Even though the storyline is predictable and some of the actors play is adequate, it is a sweet and nice summery romance and it's definitely worth a watch.

I loved the movie: nice plot, funny and lighthearted. A real feel good movie, perfect for Summer. The female lead actress Ayca Aysin Turan is beautiful, funny and charismatic. I don't think I have ever seen a more beautiful woman in my life. The male lead is less charismatic but overall they make a nice couple. I think I read somewhere the movie was filmed in Asos, Turkey. What a beautiful place, it made for the perfect location for a romcom. I think for everyone reading it's definitely worth to check the movie out, you won't regret it. It has all the ingredients you want and need for a feelgood Summer romcom.

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.

I adore every aspect of this movie. It's a light romantic comedy and has the vibes of a summer movie.

The performance of the actors is remarkable, they act naturally and smoothly.

The plot is beautiful and delightful

The scenery is breathtaking, the wonderful places and fabulous nature make you long for a summer vacation in Asos .

The chemistry between the leads is insane , you feel they are effortlessly and naturally connected. I like their names, Sahra and Deniz: they are symbolic.

While watching , I felt excited as I followed their lovely love story. I highly recommend it to everyone .

PS: the movie is a rom-com not a drama , and its name is Sen Inandir (not Inandir Beni, please)

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.
