Luis is traveling through southern Morocco with his son, Esteban. They're searching for his daughter, who has been missing for five months, last seen at a dance festival in the desert. As the pair travel from party to party, they hear of a semi-mythical rave near the border of Mauritania. Descending into the scorched terrain as a not-so-distant global conflict encroaches, Luis and Esteban are soon drawn into a primal landscape in which they must walk a tightrope between heaven and hell.

Adam Nayman The Ringer There’s a stretch in the middle of the movie that constitutes some of the most authentically white-knuckle filmmaking in recent memory. When it comes to working the audience over, Laxe is ruthless. Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Mark Hanson Slant Magazine The film is a vivid meditation on human possibility in the face of fate and nature’s tumultuous might, ending in a fog of ambiguity that mirrors that characters’ bewilderment. Sep 7, 2025 Full Review Nick Schager The Daily Beast An unforgettable portrait of the search for unity at the edge, and end, of the world. Sep 7, 2025 Full Review Dionar Hidalgo Algo Más Que Cine Visually stunning but emotionally hollow, Sirât mistakes cruelty for depth. Laxe trades mysticism for shock value, turning a promising spiritual journey into a self-indulgent exercise in despair. Rated: 5/10 Oct 21, 2025 Full Review Molly Henery The Blogging Banshee Sirât is a spiritual experience, taking the audience on an unrelenting ride filled with tension, love, and music. Rated: 9/10 Oct 19, 2025 Full Review Colton Peregoy MovieJawn Sirât is nearly indescribable and certainly undefinable, a movie that bores into your brain and pulsates through your body as an ecstatic sensorial experience.
