I watched Sirāt last night. I feel like it’s a story that will stay with me for a long time. Some of the reviews (pro and amateur) have been pretty scathing, and I totally see their points. I wonder if the upsetting of expectation isn’t the whole point of the film. The overwhelming fragility of existence and continual ability of an uncaring world not to deliver on a satisfying narrative, counterbalanced with the ability of humans to survive in spite of it all. https://mubi.com/en/gb/films/sirat
