And Then We Danced (2019)

True to Georgia, And The First of Its Kind

[9/10 · 21 October 2019]

And Then We Danced was a masterpiece! I love when I can empathize with a film through and through. Levan Gelbakhiani's performance pierced through my heart more than most I've seen in my life. I loved the choice of ending even if it wasn't the happiest, it was smart especially the metaphor at the very end, also very realistic. Great cinematography, not outstanding but great. Perfect acting and proper humor (just the right amount of laughs, and they're not forced). Perfect amount of sensuality and drama (grab a tissue - for both reasons, lol.) And it showcased the situation for LGBT people in Georgia so well, the majority was set in Tbilisi but even so the conservatism and tradition was still pervasive. Near-perfect.
