The credits underline the tin ear of the whole endeavor by declaring that Anne "became what she wanted: world-famous." Go to Full Review

[My Best Friend Anne Frank] is bold in ways I didn’t expect it to be. It’s inspiring in the ways I knew it would be but cried over anyway...It’s wholly worthy an addition to the canon of not just Holocaust stories but Jewish stories altogether. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
The movie is inspired by the real-life friendship between Anne Frank and Hannah Goslar. And while it’s a mostly fictional account, Sombogaart approaches the subject with sincerity and sensitivity. Go to Full Review

Fascism is not a relic of the past, but a threat to humanity as long as the working class does not do away with capitalism. Go to Full Review

This movie tells an important story, but there's something off about My Best Friend Anne Frank. At the very least, the title is misleading.https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/my-best-friend-anne-frank Go to Full Review

Instead of just casting a long shadow with those gloomy eyes and the idea that the audience already knows her end, the Netherlands native Beemsterboer adds more layers to Annes personality. Go to Full Review

Zach L 10/21/2022 I have made a relatively long review in my page https://zliangas.blogspot.com/2022/10/mijn-beste-vriendin-anne-frank.html hope youi will like it See more donna m @DonnaM 02/08/2022 It was of course sad but I learned more about Anne Frank her best friend and about WW2. Although the story line was slow and a few times confusing I am glad I watched it. See more 02/06/2022 This movie is really boring and there nothing deep about this movie that get your attention. I got distracted so many times trying to watch this movie 🍿 it's a good film if you want to go sleep 😴 See more 02/05/2022 A sweet and very moving film. A different take on a very sad story. The film has pretty decent actors who all play their own role in this film. See more 02/03/2022 I loved this film - so poignant and moving. I couldn't stop thinking about it for hours after watching. The film is about Hanneli Goslar and the women around her, from childhood friends, to the strength, courage, and ultimately generosity and kindness of those with her in Bergen-Belsen, particularly her own. See more ashley s @Aly13G 02/03/2022 The movie is so bland. Its story revolves only about their friendship and nothing else. How I wish there's a plot that's worth watching. See more Read all reviews
