If you are interested in Existential psychotherapy or if you struggle with concepts such as fear of death, loneliness, meaningfulness, or freedom of choice (Irvin David Yalom's four main anxieties) in your daily life, I highly recommend this movie.

The characters of the film are each a symbol of a different person in a concerned society. And each of them has dynamic humor and beautiful dark comedy.

The use of a pristine and suitable location with the theme of the film, as well as beautiful frames suitable for filming, creates a hidden sense of peace and makes the viewer connect with the story more easily.

Not a fast paced movie but gently leads to the finish. A dying man justifies his relationships with his friends. The way the characters intertwined with each other was done well. Each with their own failures and successes. The grey winter sets the mood.

Although I didn't like the film Breakfast with Giraffes, something told me at the time that I should give Soroush Sehat another chance. Right then, I added Dance with Me to my watchlist - and I must say, I'm quite satisfied with the chance I gave this film.

Although this is Soroush Sehat's first feature film, it is a better work than Breakfast with Giraffes in both form and content. Dance with Me is a calm, heartfelt film filled with beautiful imagery that makes watching it on a Friday afternoon even more pleasant. The movie clearly and directly deals with life and death - one character seeking death, and another trying to escape from it.

I liked Dance with Me for its portrayal of intimacy, the fading of friendships, and its uplifting, light, and liberating atmosphere. I definitely recommend you watch it. My rating for this film is 7 out of 10 (it has a 6.7 rating on IMDb).

But my satisfaction with this movie doesn't end there. I am drawn to films that, in addition to having a surface-level story, also hold deeper meanings beneath. Much like the film Oldboy.

In this film, each character is a symbol of different types of people in society, each carrying with them a bittersweet kind of humor. Here, Soroush Sehat, borrowing from the four ultimate concerns described by Irvin David Yalom and incorporating concepts such as fear of death, loneliness, the search for meaning, and the freedom to choose, has created a work in an existential space. Through the use of a pristine location suited to the film's subject, and with beautiful, well-composed shots, he manages to create a hidden sense of calm, making it easier for the audience to connect with the story.

This movie makes you feel good! The production team worked very hard. The acting team also appeared very strong. The story of the film was very good. The atmosphere of the film also felt good. The style of the film was also interesting. One of the good movies I saw, from the good screenplays written by Soroush Sehat.

I recommend watching this movie as it has a great message; and make sure you watch it along with your family members or friends. The story is not fast paced and all, and the movie has a strange atmosphere to it (No wonder though, if you know the director, Mr. Sehhat) but none of these make it a bad movie.
