It is probably easy to pick holes in this adaptation but it is still a compelling piece of storytelling Read full review

The Daily Beast Nick Schager

Shot with a bracing sobriety that does justice to the lives that were lost and torn apart by the Holocaust, it demonstrates respect for its subject by refusing to sugarcoat any aspect of its story, including the complicated feelings of its protagonist. Read full review

The Tattooist Of Auschwitz shows that there can be a glimmer of hope in even the most horrific situations. Read full review

Overall, though, the miniseries does suffer from a few flaws, including an intrusive soundtrack (by Hans Zimmer). Most important of all, the story is weakened by miscasting. As the young Lali, Hauer-King digs hard but doesn’t fully evoke the complex inner conflict Lali feels as he must betray others to survive. And, to me at least, he looks nothing like the older Lali, well-played by Harvey Keitel, who manages to bring Lali’s shame to the fore. Read full review

It’s a sobering chronicle of a romance surrounded by death that’s, by virtue of its subject, more affecting than entertaining. It’s also slow-paced, suggesting the story may have been better told as a compact feature film rather than the drawn-out miniseries that has all episodes now streaming on Peacock. Read full review

For all its period detail and unflinching depiction of the Holocaust's horrors, though, "The Tattooist of Auschwitz" lumbers more than it inspires. Read full review

The Telegraph Anita Singh

Jonah Hauer-King plays the young Lale, and he doesn’t have the depth that the role demands. He recently played the prince in Disney’s The Little Mermaid, and that suited him better. Polish actress Anna Próchniak does her best with the thin character of Gita. As the saccharine Heather, Melanie Lynskey’s only job is to look soppy and tearful at regular intervals when the story cuts back to the present day. Read full review
