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.

5/5

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.

4/5

Sirāt makes a ticklish presence in Oscar conversations: it has the flavour of a cult film, a grimy gatecrasher among the tuxedos. And yet this isn’t the trippy sprawl of another generation’s midnight movie.

3/5

The narrative seems set for a straightforward thriller about a man’s tenacious search for his child. But Spanish director Oliver Laxe has other ideas, crafting an increasingly surreal, weirdly watchable tale of dancing, drug-taking, sand and music.

There’s no doubt it’s bracing and a deeply felt homage to EDM as modern, post-lingual folk music. But Sirāt is at war with itself, and its pushiest, least interesting instincts rule the day. R.

5/5

Oliver Laxe has chosen his cast wonderfully, a gaggle of wounded real-life ravers so full of their own sense of identity that they give natural energy-fuelled performances.

A slog. At first it reminded me of The Road Warrior but I was quickly disabused of that impression. Even the shocks seemed gratuitous.

Bleak af. Somehow a combo of genius and hollow? If I had to guess, this film is probably the creation of someone who’s lived a privileged life but sees themselves as politically attuned, and therefore thinks this film they’ve concocted is more profound than it actually is. And even if I’m wrong about that, it is still how the film comes across.
