1.5/4	Jan Stuart	Perlasca epitomizes the kind of soft-core Holocaust porn that people point to as evidence of how survivor memory can be vulgarized and diminished through dramatization. Full Review \| Comment \| Apr., 15 2005 03:49 PM	Newsday
2.5/4	Elizabeth Weitzman	Zingaretti does a fine job shading a character that is written as an unalloyed saint. But the most touching moments come at the end, when we see documentary footage of his true-life inspiration. Full Review \| Comment \| Apr., 15 2005 03:46 PM	New York Daily News
3.5/5	Ken Fox	Negrin's film is a well-deserved tribute to a principled man who dared to act when principles no longer counted for anything. Full Review \| Comment \| Apr., 15 2005 03:43 PM	TV Guide's Movie Guide
3/4	Russell Scott Smith	A well-made and heart-rending Italian Schindler's List. Full Review \| Comment \| Apr., 15 2005 03:23 PM	New York Post
	Ronnie Scheib	Confusing lack of historical set-up considerably dims the potential luster of a great true story. Full Review \| Comment \| Apr., 14 2005 05:18 PM	Variety
2/5	Anita Gates	Giorgio Perlasca, who has been compared to Oskar Schindler, deserves better than this Italian television film. Full Review \| Comment \| Apr., 14 2005 05:17 PM	New York Times
	Peter L'Official	More courageous than Spielberg in its depiction of Nazi brutality, Perlasca occasionally feels like the made-for-Italian-TV film that it is. Full Review \| Comment \| Apr., 12 2005 02:37 PM	Village Voice
