Wordiezett So much average

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

amour88 This is a short mini series only 5 30 minutes episodes. This was one of the best portrayals I have ever seen. The actress who played her was amazing and looked so much like her. I made me almost cry,made me laugh and made me angry. The last episode was very nervewrecking,you knew what was going to happen yet you wanted it to turn out differently. Despite it being during the war she was still your average teenager and you can still relate to her. I still like Anne Frank The Whole Story best but this was a wonderful version too.This portrayal of Anne can be egotistical and short-tempered. There are a few scenes where Anne talks about her changing body and her sexuality and one scene where she touches her breasts in a sexual way. The devotion of the "helpers" warms my heart at seeing people who put their lives on the line to help hide the people in the annex. When the nazi's finally do come is such a heartbreaking scene especially when you know how close the war was to ending.

TheLittleSongbird I love a good TV drama, and The Diary of Anne Frank is that. Along with Occupation, it was one of the highlights of 2009, having been profoundly moved and disturbed by the events detailed in Anne Frank's diary since I was a little girl in primary school, this was a harrowing, poignant, sensitive and wonderfully acted mini-series that stayed true to the book. The mini-series is exquisite to look at, stunning costumes and settings, and the house was exactly like the house in real life. The writing is unusually sensitive, I never felt the mini-series got overly-dramatic or overly-sentimental, quite the opposite, and I think the writing really helped with that. The direction is excellent, and the music is haunting and evocative. It was the acting though where the Diary of Anne Frank really soared. Ellie Kendrick, instead of the obnoxious teenager she could have been, made for an intelligent yet somewhat lively Anne, very like the Anne in the book. Iain Glen is charming as the perfect father figure and Tamsin Grieg is luminous and quiet as the mother. Lesley Sharp is exceptional as Petronella, a selfish and independent matriarch, her actions were very entertaining. Then there is the sudden discovery, even for those who had read the book it was emotional, intense and sudden. Overall, this is a brilliant mini-series, in my opinion it is a must see! 10/10 Bethany Cox

josephnickson102 such an emotional story, acting was superb!the best BBC production in years. They have definitely out done them self this time. This is a must see video/series. If you are into history you MUST WATCH IT! Ellie Kendrick was amazing! so was Tamsin Greig. I always loved to see her in black books, but this performance was just amazing. It still made me go out buy buy all three series again!well done everybody involved.as soon as it is available to buy i will buy it. and so should you.truly inspirational.

simon-1019 Just finished watching episode 5 on BBC i-player. I've been familiar with the story of Anne since I was a child, but I've never seen it told so simply or movingly as it has been over the past five nights on BBC2. I'm a cynical 45 yr old bloke, and there's honestly not much that can make me cry... I'll just have to tell my girlfriend that I've got a cold. Sensitive writing and a superb cast turned this into something special... excruciatingly sad, wonderfully uplifting. How can anyone endure the petty posturing of Celebrity Big Brother after watching this? So am I really the only person to be posting about this?
