David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter 5d
This is a solidly acted drama with notably strong work from Cindoruk as the unlikely rabble-rouser. It’s also beautifully shot, with fluid camerawork from Ahmet Sesi̇gürgi̇l and Barış Aygen that snakes with grace and agility. Go to Full Review Catherine Bray Variety Feb 20
This apposite demonstration of religious convictions being used to prop up concrete actions, spurred on and given fuel by tribalist rivalries, elevates “Salvation” from a merely striking mood piece to an astute psychological study. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International Feb 20
Despite the story’s repeated segues into dreams and fantasies, there’s a grim accumulation of momentum. Even so, the sheer brutality and savage finality of the film’s climax come as a shock. Go to Full Review Jack Walters Next Best Picture 4d
8/10
"Salvation" certainly won't have you leaving the theater with a renewed faith in the world. Still, it may teach you something crucial about the futility, selfishness, and egoism of militarized revenge. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Feb 20
2/5
The film’s final moments are indeed effectively shocking, but Salvation isn’t nearly as upsetting or propulsive as it could be. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
