With Others

About This Movie

With Others has this quiet, almost reflective atmosphere that pulls you in. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension between characters to simmer. Arezoo and Amir-Hossein's struggle with infertility is portrayed with a raw honesty, and then you have Tahareh stepping in as a surrogate, which complicates their dynamic even more. The performances are subtle, really capturing the emotional weight of the situation without overdoing it. What sets it apart is how it explores the intricacies of relationships and the impact of an ex-spouse on such a personal decision. It’s a layered narrative, diving into themes of love, sacrifice, and the definitions of family—all wrapped in a deeply human story.

Focus on the character dynamics. · The slow burn makes the conflict feel real. · Good insights into societal pressures around family.
