Entertainment Reviews:
While it has some offbeat charm, this innocuous but highly uneven Egyptian drama lacks the polished execution to match its heartfelt ambition.

[Salama is] asking us to wonder when enough is enough and when wholesale submission to God becomes a detriment to the health of your soul.

The Film Stage
The arresting visuals at their most peculiar would be my biggest reason to recommend seeing Sheikh Jackson, but it's worth watching because it's a good coming-of-age story with a nuanced depiction of faith and a strong character arc at the centre.

Film Inquiry
Salama gently, effectively examines the role religion can play in one's life and outlook versus how a secular, more free-thinking existence may offer greater latitude but not always better or happier choices.

Cinema Scope
Quiet drama Sheikh Jackson tells a coming-of-age story and a come-back-to-God story that barely meet in the middle.

While the story's ultimately pretty familiar, the religious angle adds some intriguing complications to the usual tropes.
