Part adventure yarn, part trippy odyssey, part meditation on loss, part promo for the joys of dancing, Laxe takes disparate elements and weaves them together with maximalist confidence. The result is a film that is vital, unpredictable, brilliantly made, hard to describe, even more difficult to forget. Sirāt starts with a jolt of energy. Against ochre-coloured cliffs in Morocco, a full-on rave begins, a desert dance-floor of writhing bodies lost in music…-EMPIRE

“Nothing about the pulsating ‘Sirāt’ is appropriate or expected or traditional or fully comprehensible. It just is. And it is utterly transfixing.”-Traver’s Take
