I thought that hallmark
movies were only for north America . , but in this case this movie could have worked if they took a little more time and maybe some better actors. I am not sure if it's the story because premisses is there and this should been a very good movie. Great location just poor acting and editing is the only i can think
why this movie is so bad even for a romance movie
in the end i keep watching it not because of the movie location and beautiful scenary which is excellent. So with that in mind i gave it a 4 stars. But it could have been much better oh well enjoy it as long it's free dont pay for it.

Asli, who has always been spoiled as an only child, is eagerly waiting to find her Prince Charming. She remains unsuccessful as her dream prince is a man who resembles her father: a spirited, romantic, polite, emotional gentleman. After discovering that the art thief she is looking for is her ex, an Interpol agent creates a plan to catch him red-handed.
Turkish films winning our hearts with their simple, efficient and precious works, here, I was in an alternating ambiguity, between liked it, extremely boring and cheesy, I expected less love more art, a more engaging police thriller, I hope the ending is not as weak as I am imagining it will be... Unfortunately disappointing, unless a vain expectation was created... A silly and convenient ending... Average to almost bad...

The only good thing about the movie was the locations in which the movie was shot. Otherwise, it is a cheap, low budget and tasteless movie. The plot is wafer-thin, the story inconsistent and the climax non-existent. The acting was bad and the direction was amateurish at best. The direction focuses more on cheap, gross and tasteless stuff than the actual story line.
The lead actress has been gradually building her stature in industry with solid roles like those in Ataturk, Dirilis: Ertugrul and Ramo, and had been building an aura of grace, beauty and solid acting. This role ruins this image completely. The role focuses on cheap, distasteful and vulgar stuff, rather than any opportunity to demonstrate acting skills. The role suits more to a desperate B-grade movie star, rather than an A list actor. In my opinion, this role will hurt the stature and reputation of the lead actress in the long run.
Overall, an utter and sheer disappointment on all fronts.

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 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.

I liked the movie (like the Thomas Crown Affair), however the ending was abrupt and bad. Like they ran out of time and money all of a sudden. There were many ways it could have ended better than how it did.
It was rather implausible, but who cares? It's a movie about art heists.
Someone said there is no romance. Not sure what they watched because the whole movie was practically romance.
Give it a chance when you have nothing else to watch. It's worth it. Like always, use subtitles for dubbed movies as it makes it easier to follow. The scenery was fabulous as were the details around his wealth.

The movie claims to be a romantic comedy but there is literally no romance or humor to be found. The characters, both individually and as a couple, lack development, making it difficult to invest in their relationship. There's zero foundation for their connection or emotional journey. They just throw these two actors together with a revolving door of hair styles/colors and skimpy outfits (most with absolutely no relevance to the plot, by the way), Plus, they throw in random smooches with no build-up, no emotional depth, just a slapdash attempt to fulfill some quota.
It is obvious the movie was deliberately made to appeal to an audience that like shallow, lusty content (and Netflix is making lot of that kinda stuff lately) regardless of any story line. But for anyone craving a shred of romance, story, or even a chuckle, you'll be seriously disappointed.
What's truly baffling is that for such low-class, trashy film with no atristic merit, they managed to sign up Brikan and Esra! These are actors with serious chops (remember Brikan as Han in The Innocents, or Esra's phenomenal performance as Madame Corinne in Ataturk or Sibel in Ramo). Usually, it's unknown or unestablished actors desperate for a break who take on such trashy and vulgar roles.
One has to wonder if such demeaning roles will cheapen the brand of the lead actors and hurt their standing in serious acting circles. As a huge fan of both of these stars, it honestly saddens me to see them doing these kind of cheap roles.

The storyline stolen from the classic "The Thomas Crown Affair". Its not an adaptation. No credit to original story writer. There are two versions; one with Steve Mcqueen and Faye Dunaway made in 68 and the other one made in 1999 with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo. They're both decent, good time movies. I can not say the same thing about this one.
Such a shame wanna be writers steal from a classic and getting away with it. These writer make a living of a stolen idea when such original stories waiting on the sideline in Turkey. Netflix Turkey has become so corrupt no talents are welcome there. I'm sure global Netflix has no idea what kind of shananagans going on under its management.

Great acting, a very nice project and congratulations to Esra Bilgic, who has overcome the lead role as she deserved. It is very good for a platform like Netflix to work on such a wonderful project with actors who show great acting. The film is very beautiful, simple and fluent. I congratulate everyone who contributed. Esra Bilgiç is very natural and she really displayed her role and acting perfectly. He literally took this beautiful project to the next level. I really enjoyed watching you, thank you for your acting. To summarize, the movie can be watched at any moment. If you want to spend your time well, log in to Netflix immediately and start watching.

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.

Despite good cinematography and captivating locations, the movie falls flat with its clichéd plot, lackluster scriptwriting, and subpar acting. The revelation that the art thief is the protagonist's ex-lover feels contrived, and the attempts to inject suspense fall short due to predictable twists. The performances are hardly adequate and they struggle to breathe life into characters that feel one-dimensional and lacking in depth. The chemistry between the leads, meant to ignite the screen with passion and conflict, fizzles rather than sparks, making it difficult for viewers to invest in their journey. While the visuals offer moments of aesthetic pleasure, they can't compensate for the film's overall lack of substance. The movie may dazzle the eyes, but it leaves much to be desired in terms of storytelling and execution.

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.

Unfortunately, the entire duration of the film was just one big contrivance from start to finish. No depth in the script, performances, or scenes. As others have said, the only good part of the "Art of Love" was the backdrops/landscapes (Istanbul and Prague) in many of the scenes. Esra Bilgiç, who is usually a terrific actress, was awful in the role of Alin and the vapidness of Alin's personality along with the focus on her appearance reminded me of those gross model stereotypes. Birkan Sokullu was relegated to an airhead character who grinned and looked suave without any substance to his personality. Bilgiç and Sokullu have zero chemistry, romantic or otherwise. The whole story and what was going to happen was predictable a few minutes in. Not worth the time.
Actors 'Esra' and 'Birkan' are good actors and have something in common and that is both have cancelled series 'Kanunsuz Topraklar' and 'Yüz Yillik Mucize'. Then comes 'Art of Love' which bring them together to another failure project! Is it all about the money, or about something called Netflix algorithm -- I must do Netflix flic? There are so many heist movies from American movies, British movies, and Spanish movies, but this one 'Art of Love' tops them all with non-sense scenario, nerd dialect, and boredom story that someone cannot imagine. They could have done a movie with a much better and more elegant story and scenario. The only beautiful thing about this movie is the wonderful places where the movie was shot.
Well, as i former actor, i really liked the idea and concept of this movie. I think Turkish romantic movies is getting bigger and this movie is the indicator of this fact. You can find fun, love and action in. This movie. Esra Bilgiç is one of the rising star of Turkiye and we will see her a lot in the future. Connection between Birkan and Esra is amazing. I really want to see them together in another movie. If you expect a lot from this movie you will be disappointed so just watch this in a relaxed way. Only thing that i can criticize from this movie is dialogues. Something was missing from the dialogues. Besides that just give it a shot.
Despite its promising start and beautiful scenery, "Art of Love" ultimately disappoints. The story is filled with clichés and predictable moments, failing to engage the audience. Even the talented lead actors, known for some previous great performances, struggle to bring their characters to life, resulting in a lackluster performance. While the film boasts stunning visuals, it lacks a compelling storyline. In the end, "Art of Love" falls short of making a lasting impression as a captivating romantic comedy. So, if you are loongking for some fresh and nice rom-com, I am sorry to disappoint you, this is not the one, I think.

The film is really interesting it even becomes my favorite film it's an enemy to lovers film the best made of all time because the story is captivating and you want to know more after every second and when you watch the end you say to yourself that the film was simply wow. It's not a film that we see often because this type of film is very rare in any case I find that the film is very well done whether it's the images or the places where it was filmed the film is really intriguing and you realize it's really well done and really well imagined and that even we wouldn't have found from the start if we wouldn't have watched the end I give it a 10/10! Because I don't see where the fault in this film is.
An incredible cast, picturesque locations all flavored by a sweet love story. Esra Bilgiç is finally back on screens with such a stunning project. The plot is kinda intriguing, you wonder how it ends. Is it love or just a game? Above all we are attracted how detective and love story are shown together. I never thought Esra and Birkan would have a good chemistry but they proved me wrong. The stylist work deserves special appreciation. I also loved the camera effects, especially in the beginning of the movie.
This will light up your day! I highly recommend to watch it for those who love romantic comedies.

Esra Bilgiç suits the screen very well. It was a very enjoyable experience. They were also compatible with Birkan. Will there be a second part of the movieI loved him very much. I wish there were more action scenes. The script was weak. The acting was very good. It must be one of Netflix s most successful productions. Foreigners do it, why shouldn't we Shooting techniques are extremely good. The quality of the film makes itself felt. I don't understand why it got low ratings. He deserves so much more. I will watch it for the 2nd time. I would like to watch women at work more. Birkan was very handsome. The fight scene was very good. It was amazing how Esra bilgiç conveyed the emotion in the first encounter scene..
The movie was very high quality and beautiful. Esra Bilgiç's acting so soooo great. She is very beautifulll. The historical places taken are very beautiful. The fight scene was very good and made me very excited. Romantic Thief literally captivated me with its lively characters and unusual story. The combination of romantic and decriminalizing elements in the film created an unexpected balance and depth. Birkan Sokullu's performance was remarkable for his charismatic stance in the scenes and his ability to reflect the inner world of the character. The harmony between the two was devently good.
The movie was very successful. It makes you feel like a foreign movie. I think we should congratulate him. I would like to see more love and action. Esra and Birkan's harmony was wonderful. Two names that suit the screen very well. They deserve more. I couldn't see much benefit from the script. The last scene was my favorite. I think this movie should be given a chance. It was not bad. Could it be better? We must congratulate everyone who contributed. I love Netflix's Turkish productions. They are all very valuable to us. I hope we watch the sequel of this movie and it meets our expectations. I would like to watch Esra and Birkan on television.

Good ideas, and decent acting. It's halfway between Ocean's and Lupin with touches of Turkish humor and charm. Moreover, the plot is well-crafted, the cinematography artistic, and the music engaging. I must say, I loved it. Some aspects of the film remind me of the enchanting tales of One Thousand and One Nights. Others of more classic stories, like Gone with the Wind with Esra Bilgiç as Scarlett O'Hara-heroic, romantic, and in love-or The Old Man and the Sea, where men must face the forces of nature with humility, and Birkan Sokullu indeed imparts this life philosophy at the film's end. A masterful blend of genres, therefore. A must-see and rewatch. A little, a lot, passionately, madly.
