It feels like technique and precision won the battle against soul.

Even though production is amazing, it feels like an only half-finished work. Dialog is deeply unnatural, metaphors are far too simple/obvious and all the plot lines lead to unconvincing endings. Sound design starts exciting but falls flat and confusing at the end, and Sorcerer vibes lead only to drama and not to character deepening.
I would have loved it to go further into self-destruction and self-disappearance (more in a Fitzcarraldo or Der Siebente Kontinent way) rather than focussing on surprise effect and empty self-awareness.
The value in Sirāt is for me in what it can lead to. The movie is capable of giving fresh air to at least 3 different genres, which hey! it’s something obviously impressive. That’s why after Sirāt (and after O Que Arde) I give Oliver Laxe credit for the result and am waiting for what he can accomplish in the future provided the pieces are well polished and the goal is clear.

Human wars are despicable and so are one-sided hero-maker movies about them.
