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 Alan Zilberman Spectrum Culture A desert odyssey that mixes Lawrence of Arabia, Climax, and The Wages of Fear. The dance sequences are hypnotic – director Óliver Laxe has it mixed so you can feel it in your guts – which makes the subsequent silence and despair all the more devastating. Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending Screenwriters Laxe and Santiago Fillol have crafted a harsh, meditative, twisty and incendiary film the leans heavy on a singular vibe where stunning visuals (kudos to ace DP Mauro Herce) and aural sensations are key. Rated: A Sep 28, 2025 Full Review Stephanie Malone Morbidly Beautiful Sirāt is a film that grips like few others. It is harrowing and hypnotic, devastating and beautiful. Oliver Laxe delivers a sensory and emotional knockout destined to linger long after the credits. Rated: 5/5 Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
