- 75New York PostRussell Scott SmithNew York PostRussell Scott SmithThere are no end of tear-jerking moments in Perlasca, a well-made and heart-rending Italian "Schindler's List."
- 63New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanZingaretti does a fine job shading a character that is written as an unalloyed saint.
- 60Village VoiceVillage VoiceMore courageous than Spielberg in its depiction of Nazi brutality, Perlasca occasionally feels like the made-for-Italian-TV film that it is.
- 60VarietyRonnie ScheibVarietyRonnie ScheibConfusing 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.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckUnfortunately, this feature, originally made for Italian television, doesn't quite do justice to its stirring subject.
- 40The New York TimesAnita GatesThe New York TimesAnita GatesGiorgio Perlasca, who has been compared to Oskar Schindler, deserves better than this Italian television film.
