A father (Sergi López) and his son arrive at a rave deep in the mountains of southern Morocco. They are searching for Mar -- daughter and sister -- who vanished months ago at one of these endless, sleepless parties. Surrounded by electronic music and a raw, unfamiliar sense of freedom, they hand out her photo again and again. Hope is fading, but they push through and follow a group of ravers heading to one last party in the desert. As they venture deeper into the burning wilderness, the journey forces them to confront their own limits.

Critics Consensus

A brutal reminder that the journey can be more important than the destination, Sirât is an unforgettable exercise in tension that wallops its audience like a deafening blast of bass to the face.

This is a piece of extraordinarily visceral film-making by Laxe.

So intense you’ll want to scarper but so riveting you can’t leave, Sirāt is an assault on the senses, mind and emotions. If only all movies took swings this bold.

The midway point tragedy lost me and I found the final act... more absurd than absurdist.

Imagine the 1950s-era French masterwork "The Wages of Fear" with a wicked house beat.

Powerful, heartbreaking, and visceral, Sirât shocks as deeply as it resonates on an existential level. It leaves you reeling in its wake, stirring something profound at your core.

liked the storytelling overall. felt like I was on a ride with them. however, towards the end it dragged a bit. never felt satisfying and just became trauma porn happenstance

This film is a good example that horror does not need to rely on unrealistic events. Life sometimes shows us that our greatest fears can be real, and this film is a powerful reminder of that. Its simplicity is part of its genius. Escaping to remote places can also remind us how important it is to surround ourselves with a community. We are not invincible, and any of us can be helpless if we are not careful.

Sirât is slow, tense, and full of memorable moments, but devoid of any sense of resolution at the end.
