What are critics saying?
Saloum is tense and, when it kicks into high gear, scary as hell.
The Film Stage by Jared Mobarak
One mystery is solved so another can begin without missing a beat as revenge takes on new meaning in the aftermath of its completion.
Revenge is a dish served with considerable style and imagination in Saloum, a fast and furious crime-horror-thriller that twists and turns its way around the mangroves, islets and inlets of Senegal’s Sine-Saloum coastal region.
