Jorge G I can't tell you what happens in this movie. You just gotta watch it. What I can say is, it was highly emotional, and for different reasons throughout the film. When the credits rolled, the handful of people in the cinema in Madrid where I watched it were silent for a bit, then, as we got outside, and the reality of the sun and the city hit us, we all felt connected. It took me a bit to come down off the experience, which I didn't mind. The movie was loud, and it needed to be. The techno was pumping, and it hit very hard. All the parts of it hit hard. There was a bit of "Stanley Kubrick" vibe to it with the long scenes, which embraced me, drew me in, and didn't let me escape the emotions I was having. Being a raver in the late 90s added to my experience, so I was immediately hit with nostalgia, connection, and all the feels. The ravers are a group of actual ravers. The study and research that went into this film is awesome. The cinematography is amazing. And the holding of emotions in the scenes was breathtaking. At the time of this writing, it has just gotten bought by distribution companies to get it to the rest of the world, so we will have to wait a bit. I just happened to be visiting Spain at the time it was premiering there. It's in Spanish, which was amazing to be able tot see it and understand it in the language it was made in. In the meantime, while we wait, the soundtrack is on Spotify. This is a heavy hitter.

Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Damian A In Islam, "As-Sirat" refers to the bridge over hell that everyone must cross on the Day of Judgment. Surprise is something I long for in film and it now comes along so very rarely. Thank goodness for Oliver Laxe's latest that I just finished watching at the Sydney Film Festival direct from Cannes where it won the Jury prize and three others. Sergi Lopez (Pan's Labyrinth) plays Luis who has come to a desert rave in Morocco with his young son and dog to look for his missing daughter. They tag along with a group of ravers (all played by non-actors) heading towards another party deep in the desert to see if the daughter is there. What follows is an adventure filled with spiritual longing, tragedy and questions. The soundtrack is propulsive, urgent, tribal and like few others. The film comes across like a mixture of the Burning Man festival (the darker side), The Wages of Fear and Mad Max. It is post apocalyptic, otherworldly and powerful. Rarely do I see a film that surprises me. This one did. It's something else. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
