GamerTab That was an excellent one.

LouHomey From my favorite movies..

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

mike This movie is unfortunately poorly put together. I had trouble from the beginning as "Sir Ben Kinglsey" acted as Otto Frank. His accent was poor, and although he looks like Mr.Frank, He seemed to have over-dramatized his role. The other members of the annex were O.K along the lines of acting, but the look wasn't right. Peter is nothing like he supposed to look, Mrs. VanPels is nothing but a large lady in a Dress. And Mr.Pheffer is not suited for his role as Fritz. The movie from beginning to end is choppy, and very sloppy with little scenes from the Annex, and way to many scenes of Anne's life beforehand. The scenes with the Annex are making it seem like it was huge! It most certainly not. The shining stars are Hannah Taylor Gordon as Anne, for she not only looks the part, but she acts in the most brilliant way I've seen since Millie Perkins as Anne. If they were both to meld to be Anne, I would love to see it. Also Lili Taylor was brilliant as Miep Gies. For A Real Anne Frank Movie See George Stevens version of the timeless classic.

Syl Let's face this fact that Anne Frank's diary is almost as well read as the Bible, Torah, and Koran. We all know about Anne Frank, the Dutch Jewish girl, who hid in the attic with her family during World War II from the Nazis. She wrote in her diary about life in the attic and how they lived under constant fear and terror. The cast has Sir Ben Kingsley as Anne's father, Otto Frank, and lone survivor. Brenda Blethyn OBE is also in the cast. It's chilling when they get to the concentration camp of Bergen-Belsen, the separation, hair-shaving, and ritual act of dehumanizing everybody there. There was no talk among them as they sat with their hair being cut off for another purpose. We know who made it and didn't. After visiting Auschwitz in 2000, I didn't feel what I supposed to feel like ghosts and hauntings which I feared the most because it drains you emotionally. Even 60 years after the Holocaust, I fear that people are forgetting about it and not learning from it. We haven't learned because there are other Anne Franks out there. It is still a haunting and chilling testament of survival and the human spirit.

theladyinblue This movie is by far the best movie about Anne Frank's life. All of the actors, especially the girl playing Anne, look hauntingly like the real people they were portraying. The film managed to incorporate lots of details that were not seen in the 1959 film. For instance, the film went into detail about Miep Gies (their helper)'s background. Also, we got to see the Nazi occupation of Holland through Anne's eyes as opposed to just starting the film with the family going into hiding. This movie gets very dark towards the end when the family gets deported to Westerbork and then to Aushwitz. The part where Anne and her family arrive at Aushwitz is a heartbreaking and sad one, especially if you have done any research about the death camps and know what happened to those children who were loaded into the wagon. Also sad is that Anne is told that her father is dead. It has been said that if she knew that he was still alive, she may have held out longer and possibly survived. Anne's declination as her life in the camp progresses is really sad. Anyone who read Anne's book should see it. A word of caution for those who want to watch with their kids: the last part of the film contains nudity and portrays concentration camp life in graphic detail.

Paul In January 2003 on a college trip to Amsterdam, i and other friends went into the Anne Frank Huis on the last day. This is the famous place where she and her family went into hiding. i found it strange to actually walk up those hidden stairs and see things such as the heights of the two girls still preserved on the walls in pencil. i found the whole experience to be the most moving place i've ever been to.seeing Anne Frank: the Whole Story on tv a few months after i just had to see it. It is a film which does everything right, its doesn't hide behind any barriers and shows the truth as it really was. We all know about Anne Frank's life during the time she wrote in her diary and in the 'hiding period' and it does show this, but what it also shows is afterwards - after they were found out and taken away. It shows just how Jews were treated and is unbelievable such terrible things occured in only the 20th century - a century most of us were born in, and yet similar regimes in the world today still treat humans like this. You see the Frank and Van Pels' family split up by their sex, stripped naked and the women having their hair cut short and sleeping in cramped conditions, starving and forced to dig...presumably mass graves in which they would be buried. We can only imagine what was going through her mind as Anne didn't take her diary with her to the Camp. To be told your father is already in the gas chambers is not what any 16 year old girl should ever be told. All in all i cant find any fault with the film, it gives her diary and the whole story justice and is nice to see the helper's of Otto's factory to be shown quite frequently and involving them. It is also supported by a strong cast, especially Ben Kingsley as the father who survives the concentration camp to learn after the war that his wife and two daughters are dead. Perhaps the most moving aspect i found were the actual words at the end telling you statistics and what happened to the individuals (including the factory workers/helpers) and it leaves you with something really strong which really makes you think "One and a half million children were murdered in the genocide the Nazi's called 'The Final Solution'. Anne Frank's story is only one of them"
