Ella Taylor

Fascinating. Read full review

Kenneth Turan

For while the idea of comparing the Europe of 60 years ago to the Europe of today sounds didactic, the results are anything but. Ferrario turns out to have a delicate, unforced eye for elegant counterpoints, and his style unobtrusively draws you into the journey. Read full review

Frank Scheck

A rather unfocused but ultimately provocative portrait of Eastern Europe. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

Vividly impressionistic and delightfully curious. Read full review

Jay Weissberg

Sensitive, sobering, and tinged with respectful melancholy, Primo Levi's Journey retraces the enforced peregrinations of the great Italian chemist following his release from Auschwitz. Read full review

Jack Mathews

The film lacks a certain coherence, and Levi - one of Italy's most important postwar writers - is mostly relegated to an excuse for a sociopolitical travelogue. Read full review

Julia Wallace

Primo Levi's Journey is almost willfully opaque about the actual circumstances of Primo Levi's journey. Who exactly was this man we're meant to be paying homage to, and why did it take him so long to get home? Read full review
