5/5
"In class dynamics,
Mafioso
infiltrates every facet of life, summing up the rudimentary boredom of the man from Milan while not turning a deaf ear to the crimes of the Sicilian assassin."
Filmcritic.com
Chris Cabin
"The black American offers a brief, sharp bit of tragicomic business that only appears unrelated to Nino's dire plot. He has no idea who he is, and even when he finds out, he's committed to silence."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
2/4
"
Mafioso
is many things, but a good movie ain't one of 'em."
Slant Magazine
Keith Uhlich
3.5/5
"Even some 40 years after it was made,
Mafioso
packs heat."

Kent Turner
A
"This 1962 film is a marvel, a piece before its time that is incredibly funny while delivering a gut punch of a morality drama."

Laura Clifford
3/4
"Try to connect the movie's two parts: the spry comedy and the deadly serious piece of Mafia business"
Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
B+
"Lattuada ... crisply addresses relevant issues of national and personal identity while never neglecting his film's underlying humor."
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
A
"...a masterpiece film that readily rivals the best modern American gangster film."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
"Watching this buoyantly melancholy dark comedy, originally released in 1962, is like discovering a lost world."
