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.

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.

Top Critic Negrin's film is a well-deserved tribute to a principled man who dared to act when principles no longer counted for anything.

Top Critic Confusing lack of historical set-up considerably dims the potential luster of a great true story.

Top Critic Giorgio Perlasca, who has been compared to Oskar Schindler, deserves better than this Italian television film.

Top Critic More courageous than Spielberg in its depiction of Nazi brutality, Perlasca occasionally feels like the made-for-Italian-TV film that it is.
