I noticed that there’s a 2 season anime of this movie, so I was wondering if I need to watch the 2 seasons to understand this movie.

This movie is a sequel to both 2 seasons of TV anime, so, yes.
You might miss lots of things if you just straight watching the movie.

Season 2 is optional imo, watch all of season one it’s amazing and then some of endless eight, endless eight plays an important role in disappearance , and the first season is necessary to understand everyone’s roles and the situation otherwise you won’t care for any of the emotional parts, I almost did the exact same thing of skipping it all but I am so glad I didn’t, watch season one and some of endless eight before

Yes and no. You will probably go into it and understand it fine, but you won’t enjoy it nearly as much. It’s necessary to watch the show first because you’ll be introduced to the characters, what the series is about, and much of the plot is developed from the events that took place previously.

I woudn't say season 2 is not optional, the first episode (Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody) takes place between some events in the movie.

I highly recommend you to watch both seasons, you can skip some episodes of the Endless Eight if you want though. I'll leave you this thread here if you don't know where to start.

It's an arc on season two (episodes 2-9), you can watch the first one and the last one and understand everything that happened between those two.

Like some other commenters have said, you *should* watch the 2 seasons. If you start with this movie, you might be able to piece enough of it together to say you understood it, but not enough to say you enjoyed it. At a minimum, you should watch the first 2 or 3 episodes of the first season and then the Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody storyline. Obviously, there will still be some things that don't make complete sense, but those episodes are enough to introduce you to the world, characters, and the context behind the movie

You will have not a clue what's going on nor what was referenced if you didn't watch the two seasons (or rather one series if you watch them in chronological order).

Or simply watch all 8 episodes at once here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLsvngvealg
