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

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

[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.

Rated: 7/10

Keith & the Movies

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

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.

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

Rated: 3/5

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.

Rated: B

This movie made me cry big time. I don't understand why it has so low scores. It tells the story of a beautiful friendship and it's tragic journey, as well as the horror and sorrow people represented on it had to go through.

My Best Friend Anne Frank gives further insights into Frank's amazing young life. It's obviously a moving tale and it's incredibly well acted by the two youngsters. A look at how innocence was lost.

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.

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.
