Saloum Ratings & Reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Propulsively lurching with infectious glee from crime drama to modern-day Western to horror suffused with supernatural elements, this may turn out to be the rare African film that enters the international mainstream...
Always Good Movies
Filipe Freitas
The bet was risky, but it paid off since the film fulfilled its primary mission: to agitate and entertain.
About Boulder
Tim Brennan
The melding of the supernatural, genre aspects and African history creates a solid and original screenplay.
We Live Entertainment
Aaron Neuwirth
Bolstered by all the things one wants in any terrifically made picture, Saloum shows us something that happened once upon a time in Africa and doesn't hold back.
Film Inquiry
Sean Fallon
This genre-defying thriller shows a deft touch at action, horror, comedy, and character work.
Black Horror Movies
Mark H. Harris
As much as the scenery, the direction and cinematography, the beauty of Saloum is in the characters.
io9.com
Cheryl Eddy
Saloum isn't merely an action thriller-there are supernatural monsters afoot, and the way they tie into Chaka's story is truly startling, drawing on local folklore...
But Why Tho? A Geek Community
Collier Jennings
Saloum is a genre-bending gem of a film, expertly weaving together a revenge narrative with notes of horror, action, and Westerns.
Next Best Picture
Josh Parham
Much of what makes Saloum unique can admittedly feel messy in its explanations, and the final results are weighed down by some of the unpolished components. However, what makes this ultimately such a captivating film is its pure authenticity.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Roxana Hadadi
It's a pleasure to sprint alongside Saloum in an effort to keep up.
Polygon
Pete Volk
84 minutes of genre-bending excellence.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
Herbulot and Diop have made a movie that is bold and exciting, combining bits of reality with outsized myth, in a tale of crime, revenge, and literal monsters, set in a wonderland where it seems anything can happen.
Willamette Week
Chance Solem-Pfeifer
It's best viewed as a glint of first-act promise (and a glimpse of what Herbulot could make with a few more million dollars and a VFX assist).
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
Herbulot's direction has not just energy to spare but a truly advanced and accomplished perspective.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
"Saloum" has the extravagance of fable and folklore. The plot is ludicrously jam-packed, but the pace is fleet and the dialogue has wit and a carefree bounce...
Slant Magazine
Jake Cole
With expert visual precision, the film flows into each new, wild narrative wrinkle as if it were the most logical thing in the world.
RogerEbert.com
Marya E. Gates
Yann Gael sizzles as the trio's lead Chaka. Oozing charisma and pathos, Gael has the swagger of a born leader.
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
Spirituality, morality, mythology, and mysticism get thrown into a gritty crime thriller blender, culminating in a refreshingly unique type of genre-bender.
Variety
Richard Kuipers
Freely mixes and marries the cinematic languages of spaghetti Westerns, samurai dramas and classic monster movies to tell an exciting and distinctly African story.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Valerie Complex
The film weaves together supernatural horror elements with comedy and suspense. All aspects come together to create a unique story about how the cycle of revenge can come back to haunt you.
