Netflix lied when they said this movie was about two grandma's meddling in their grandchildrens love lives, the grandma's were barely in it. This is an hour and a half of Deniz and Sahra hating but also loving each other and repeatedly talking about how obsessed they've been with each other for years even though they haven't talked since they were kids. I mean the dude collected rocks for her, I can see how one might think that would be cute but I just thought it was weird and uncomfortable. They kinda dated for like two minutes as teenagers and though their teenage beef is kind of unclear and not at all discussed in depth until half way through the film it seems like it ended badly, so why is he writing on rocks and shells and then putting them in a jar for her? Then after they fight in the last 19 minutes of the film (I know the third act break up always comes late in a film but that felt like it was cutting it close) they get back together because of an article she wrote that was basically her just confessing her love to him while also not showing who he was for his privacy which felt like a weird line between way to personal and also pretty disconnected for the main story in a popular magazine. You don't confess your love to someone like that, strangers are gonna read that story. This movie just felt like a lot of nonsense and proof that just because you cast two attractive people opposite of each other doesn't mean you're making a great love story.
