Sirāt
Directed by Óliver Laxe
A man and his son arrive at a rave lost in the mountains of Morocco. They are looking for Marina, their daughter and sister, who disappeared months ago at another rave. Driven by fate, they decide to follow a group of ravers in search of one last party, in hopes Marina will be there. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →"Sirāt is a movie I very much wish I could have seen in a big theater with a glorious sound system; watching it at night with AirPods on isn’t quite the immersive sonic assault needed to really enmesh the viewer in the aural soundscape."
positive · AI labelView post →I have seen hundreds of films at NYFF over the past decade plus and not until tonight have I heard multiple people scream in Walter Reade thanks to Sirāt, a movie that people will likely either love or hate (I’m in the former camp). Whatever you do, see it in a theater with good sound.

neutral · AI labelView post →#Sirāt is definitely my favorite movie of 2025. Perfect audio production. I felt like I was there. The characters were lovable, sometimes annoying, and complex. I attended #Czechtek back in 2002 and it was like walking down memory lane. Chaotic beauty. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #FilmGeek

positive · AI labelView post →Finally watched Sirāt as it was showing in my local independent cinema, despite being a huge fan of Kangding Ray for quite a long time. But damm, This movie hits like a tank. So little context, but deep and dark. Made me in a state of shock and awe. I'm really really glad to watch this in cinema.

neutral · AI labelView post →I watched Sirāt last night at the cinema, which was quite an intense experience. If you're planning to see it I'd advise seeing it on the big screen and going in cold.
positive · AI labelView post →Let’s get metaphysical! Existentialist cinema is back The philosophy was embraced by film noir, the French New Wave and modern hitmen questioning life’s purpose.

positive · AI labelView post →Watched a movie called Sirāt just now... It's one of those you need to see in a theater or with proper sound system because holy shit. What a trip. Beautiful, eerie and anxiety inducing.

positive · AI labelView post →Oliver Laxe’s Sirāt , a Metacritic Must-See, is now streaming on Hulu. www.metacritic.com/movie/sirat/ “It’s an extraordinarily propulsive piece of filmmaking, and every moment of it is suffused with feeling.” - Justin Chang, The New Yorker
neutral · AI labelView post →Hadn’t realized Sirāt was nominated for best sound, but all afternoon was like, good lord, the sound in this movie is incredible.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching Sirāt, Sorcerer, and The Wages of Fear all the same week cos that’s how I roll.
neutral · AI labelView post →Really good review. I caught the film at the NYFF, and it's one I chose not to write about, even though I had reviewed Kent Jones's previous film (FWIW, it was also a second choice pick after Sirāt sold out). I'm not completely sold on Greta Lee's performance, but Willem Dafoe is fantastic.

neutral · AI labelView post →Sirāt is a road movie with a visceral impact: a poignant search and terrifying journey with some brurally horrifying moments.

neutral · AI labelView post →Im Kino **Sirāt** geguckt. Ein Roadmovie in der Wüste. Der Film hat mich gut unterhalten. Der Film gibt nicht viel Story, mehr Gefühle. Er ist schon recht traurig. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob der Film viel Raum für Interpretation gibt. Er ist halt einfach.
neutral · AI labelView post →Sirāt starts as a hypnotic road movie about a father searching for his missing daughter... then it completely blindsides you. Beautifully shot, painfully slow, and utterly unforgettable. #Sirat #MovieReview geekerynz.blogspot.com/2026/07/sira...

positive · AI labelView post →I genuinely don't know how I feel about this movie, in part because I saw it as the second leg of a double feature with Sirāt earlier this year and I was shattered by the first film so went in kind of numb. Still, didn't hate it so I think 3 stars is right.
neutral · AI labelView post →damn Sirāt is a bleak movie
negative · AI labelView post →some of LOST scared me when it was airing Zone Of Interest is the most horrific and dread-filling movie I have ever watched Sirāt is the most shocking & tense movie I've seen in a while Whiplash is so stressful & emotionally terrifying
neutral · AI labelView post →I really enjoyed the movie Sirāt though don't expect a story or plot - or to come away feeling buoyant and uplifted. What I'm curious about is the strange parallel with Sorcerer down to both having an electronic soundtrack by Berlin composers. I do like […] [Original post on mathstodon.xyz]

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm sure the people involved in Sirāt have explained the meaning of the film and all that (I haven't looked it up), but for me its meaning is that some people from "first world" countries travel to "developing" countries and ignore what the locals are going through so they can party and do drugs.
neutral · AI labelView post →Sirāt and The Voice of Hind Rajab (TVoHR) are part of a film festival. The thing is, TVoHR is the only one I can't pair with another movie to make a double feature, so I'm afraid that's the one I'm going to end up missing, which sucks! 😭
