Feb 9, 2020 What a wonderful movie! It's not just about gay romance, although that figures importantly, it's a view into a culture we as Americans know so little about, and what a tradition of dance and music. And yes, it's about breaking out of boundaries in every way: sexual, dance, culture. Tremendous directing, editing, acting, dancing, music. . . loved it! See more

David H @DavidQHarris Dec 15, 2025 I mostly watched this in hopes of getting a sense of the geography of Tbilisi. The film didn't disappoint in that regard. There were lots of interesting scenes both indoors and outdoors. The story itself was fine although not gripping. But the insights into Georgian dance and, by extension, music were very interesting.

Sam N @RT61650855 Jun 24, 2025 And Then We Danced is tender, defiant, and quietly powerful. Set in Georgia’s strict dance world, it follows Merab, a young dancer torn between tradition and desire. The lead is subtle and affecting, and the choreography speaks volumes. Like Call Me by Your Name, it captures the thrill and ache of first love—but with a raw, urgent edge. Some moments feel familiar, and the pacing sags, but its sincerity and emotional impact still hit home. See more

Tetyana G @RT87007174 Oct 15, 2022 Really great movie, beautiful from every side and the part of the story are well combined: dance, romance and society issues. Also the performance from the main actor is very touching. See more

isla s @RT89656869 Sep 3, 2022 This is quite a cultural film, featuring lots of Georgian dancing and singing (which I quite enjoyed). There are some nice settings too of course. Its also somewhat thought provoking, given the plotline. The cast were good and it was quite a good film overall, so yes I'd recommend it. See more

Aug 9, 2022 Superb cinematography. Characters are realistic. Story integrates local flavor (Georgian culture) and the underground gay culture in that country. Special mention: editing, for those dance sequences. Bravo! Love that continuous shot after the wedding (while Merab was looking for Irakli); and then again after they talked. That last dance sequence reminded me of FLASHDANCE. Considering what the filmmaker had been through to make this movie, this one deserves nothing less than…. 10 / 10 See more
