Reception
A critic from Collider wrote that "Make Me Believe has created a world that the viewer can get lost in. The dreamily-paced romantic developments which build between the beautiful actors are supported by stunning visual backdrops of sparkling seas, sun-dappled quaint towns, and ancient rocky coastlines".[1] A critic from Common Sense Media rated the film two out of five stars and wrote that "Make Me Believe is a fumbling, formulaic romcom in which two self-absorbed singles are pushed together by their meddling grandmothers".[2] A critic from LeisureByte wrote that "It is like every average rom-com, so if someone wanted to see this film, they could do for the brilliant location and stunning actors who all looked blessed by the sun throughout the course of the movie".[3] A critic from OTTplay rated the film 2+1⁄2 out of 5 stars and wrote that "Make Me Believe makes for a good one-time watch, and that’s it. It’s a feel-good film, lifted by postcard-esque vistas of a scenic seaside Turkish town".[4]
