Movie Reviews

RogerEbert.com - 9/10 by Matt Zoller SeitzIt's less concerned with covering the totality of his life than evoking his life force, which is good-humored, earthy and inspiring.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Peter KeoughIf anything, Chernick’s film shows a life that may be too perfect. In addition to his triumphant career, Perlman has a seemingly ideal marriage — to Toby, a woman who is his match in ebullience, wit, and passion for art and music. It has lasted for more than 50 years.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Pat PaduaDirector Alison Chernick profiles the violin virtuoso, through his performance, of course, but she also reveals a personality as expressive as his musicianship.
The Seattle Times - 8/10 by John HartlMost of Alison Chernick’s sweetly reverential new documentary, Itzhak, suggests a contemporary day in the life of a world-famous musician.
Variety - 8/10 by Dennis HarveyGood music and good company make “Itzhak” a pleasure, though those seeking a methodical career overview should look elsewhere than this genial personality sketch of the world-famous violinist.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Robert AbeleAs a portrait of a marriage forged in respect, love and companionship, Itzhak is in its casually wonderful way proof that life is rarely lived as a virtuosic solo.
The Film Stage - 7/10 by Jared MobarakWe witness Itzhak’s easy sense of humor, his often silent chuckle that almost makes it seem he’s ready to cry, and the impact music has on him while playing or listening. He explains with full candor how the teaching styles he hated as a child are the ones he has adopted. He’s self-deprecatingly jovial, religious and yet still pragmatic.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Simon AbramsThe makers of the irresistible character-study doc Itzhak capture Itzhak Perlman’s characteristic warmth and bravado through short, anecdote-centric scenes that make the Israeli American violinist sound like a big-hearted raconteur who’s just dying to tell you everything about himself.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Helen T. VerongosWe get a brief dip into his family’s past and emigration from Israel, but the filmmaker never digs deeply enough to reveal any other substantial dimension of this man, or her theories about what shaped him.
The Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by Frank ScheckDespite its many engaging moments, Itzhak will likely prove frustrating for viewers desiring more information.
