Must Watch Movie!
I've seen many movies revolving around World War 2, as well as those that were centered around Anne Frank. It was refreshing to watch a movie that was about someone who was close to Anne Frank to get a real glimpse into who Anne was as a person. Though she definitely wasn't painted in the most positive light, and I must wonder why the main character chose to be friends with her. Regardless, it was interesting and educational to see what life was like for those who were Jewish in Nazi Germany. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is interested in learning more about Nazi Germany, as well as Anne Frank's life from the standpoint of someone who was close to her. - sandino_owen - 8 March 2022
I didn't find the movie I expected
For those of us who read the Diary of Anne Frank, it is hard for us to understand why in this film the interpretation of Anne plays an immature and sometimes arrogant adolescent role, but nevertheless in the book it is understood that she is a child when she entered the attic. And came out as a teenager with curiosities of his age.
The interpretation of the writer, Marian Batavier, does not fit Anne's book or the spoken version of her father Otto Frank after surviving the holocaust and does not fit the character written by Hannah Goslar herself in her book "Remembers" . And the adoration and idolatry shown in the film by Hannalí towards Anne is quite exaggerated.
The film has several valuable points, such as the interpretation of the young Josephine Arendsen as Hannali, especially her character explodes in professionalism when being in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. But the film lacked explosion, it lacked great performances at key moments, I imagined a great film like the Hungarian Fateless, too bad it wasn't. - katieholtz-17092 - 8 February 2022
Subtitles/English
The movie was really good..... for what I could understand. I wish at the very least the subtitles were on and correct. Three were moments when there wasn't voice over or subtitles so guessing by body language you may figure it out. If you want to reach a wider audience I suggest at the very least have subtitles. Kind of frustrating.
