New York Post
There are no end of tear-jerking moments in Perlasca, a well-made and heart-rending Italian "Schindler's List."
70
Negrin's film is a well-deserved tribute to a principled man who dared to act when principles no longer counted for anything.

New York Daily News
Zingaretti does a fine job shading a character that is written as an unalloyed saint.
60
Confusing lack of historical set-up considerably dims the potential luster of a great true story: Helmer Alberto Negrin relies instead on competently rendered but cliche-ridden melodrama of nasty Nazis and suffering Jews.
60
More courageous than Spielberg in its depiction of Nazi brutality, Perlasca occasionally feels like the made-for-Italian-TV film that it is.
50
The Hollywood Reporter
Unfortunately, this feature, originally made for Italian television, doesn't quite do justice to its stirring subject.
40
Giorgio Perlasca, who has been compared to Oskar Schindler, deserves better than this Italian television film.
