Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) Its title refers to the mythical Islamic bridge across hell, on which one false step leads to damnation. The path trodden by the film itself is no less risky, but it styles out the crossing astonishingly. Rated: 5/5 Jun 16, 2025 Full Review Justin Chang The New Yorker It draws you out of your seat with a mighty succession of sonic rumbles, then promptly knocks you back into it with the most jolting of tragedies. Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Peter Howell Toronto Star Laxe’s film pulses with apocalyptic energy, spiritual longing and jump-from-your-seat plot turns. May 30, 2025 Full Review Juan José Beteta Cinencuentro Bold, provocative, and complex, produced with impressive restraint, Sirat is one of the best recent films. [Full review in Spanish] Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Stephen A. Russell Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Capital letters CINEMA, you literally feel Spanish-French filmmaker Óliver Laxe’s Moroccan desert-set epic in your bones. By far my favourite Sydney Film Festival experience this year. Jun 18, 2025 Full Review Gisela Savdie El Heraldo From the beginning, the film presents an underlying political critique, a backdrop that remains present throughout the story, suggested through the characters’ bodies, glances, and gestures.

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 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
