User reviews reveal 'Boy from Heaven' as a compelling thriller, deeply engaging with its intricate plot of political and religious power struggles in Egypt. The film is praised for its intense narrative and the way it captures the tension within a religious university setting. However, some viewers found the pacing slow at times, and a few felt the complexity of religious and political nuances could be overwhelming without prior knowledge.

Thriller très doux, intéressant.
Deuxième film de tarik saleh car vu le 3eme les aigles de la république
Bien joué, subtil et révélateur d’un état égyptien méfiant et attentif de l’influence religieuse
Recommandé par Anne-Laure de le Rue
Excellent film! L’intrigue est serrée, très bon rythme. Une découverte du monde universitaire religieux musulman
Un Conclave musulman, thriller, très beaux plans avec ces tenues religieuses et la cour de la mosquée, la mosaïque des tapis de prière.
Aborde les problématiques religieuses et politiques en Egypte autour de l'élection du nouveau grand Imam du Caire. Plusieurs beaux plans Dispo sur Arte Un peu lent
Sur Arte TV Pas réussie à rester concentrée. Trop compliqué pour moi.
Instructif
