75There are no end of tear-jerking moments in Perlasca, a well-made and heart-rending Italian "Schindler's List."
-
60Confusing 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.
-
More courageous than Spielberg in its depiction of Nazi brutality, Perlasca occasionally feels like the made-for-Italian-TV film that it is.
-
50Unfortunately, this feature, originally made for Italian television, doesn't quite do justice to its stirring subject.
