Jonathan Romney Screen International A punchy, visually potent story of survival and revenge, Apolline Traoré’s Sira offers a female-centred take on current tensions in northern Africa, and shows the Burkinabe writer/director on confident form with her fifth narrative feature. Mar 3, 2023 Full Review Frank J. Avella Awards Daily Sira is to be commended...Firstly, it offers a female perspective on atrocities currently being committed in the Burkina Faso area. It also dares to show an Islamic extremist grappling with his attraction to men which, of course, torments him. Rated: B- Dec 2, 2023 Full Review Ard Vijn ScreenAnarchy The evildoers do not get portrayed as stupid caricatures, their deeds are attributed to a confused mess of faith and adherence to tradition. It makes the film more suspenseful, the danger believable. And when all hell breaks loose it looks spectacular. Rated: 7/10 Nov 3, 2023 Full Review Terence Johnson Le Noir Auteur Never didactic to the point of being off-putting, but searing, it’s a wonderful triumph of a film that everyone should have a chance to see.
