Où est Anne Frank!

This movie is not afraid to mix a lot of ideas to remember the spirit of Anne Frank. The idea is to keep alive a war against racism and intolerance in a modern and brilliant movie. The animation is amazing and the way it represents nazism is absolutely beautiful and horrifying. Maybe I disagree a lot when I see parallels between Europeans Cops and nazis, so the movie is not perfect as was Congress. But maybe to show to the young generation when our aged grand parents will disappear with the memory of this horrible war.

I was keen to check this out, because Waltz with Bashir (2008) is one of my all-time favourite films, and I also quite liked Ari Folman's previous film, The Congress (2013). Where is Anne Frank doesn't quite work though, not even coming close to Folman's 2008 film quality-wise and also proving a bit disappointing compared to his 2013 film.

The tone is just very strange, and the storytelling feels a tad awkward, even if the premise sounds like it could work on paper. I can't imagine kids finding this to be particularly engaging, and adults are just going to feel a bit like they're being talked down to.

Aspects of the presentation are interesting- the music kind of stood out, and not in a bad way. I was mixed on the animation overall, though. I don't think it was utilised as well here as it had been in Forman's previous animated/half-animated movies.

I have to admire the film trying to tell a dark historical story in a way that's technically family-friendly, but keeping younger/older viewers actually engaged is a whole other matter. I think this is where the film falters, regardless of whether you're judging it as a family film or one that older audiences can watch and feel invested in.

This proved to be a disappointment, but at least it wasn't a total failure, and there are some things of merit here that can be somewhat appreciated.

I almost cried as I watched this brilliant movie. What a beautiful way to show what Anne Frank and her diary "Kitty" mean for the young people of today.

A new angle on the famous story with beautiful animation and spirit. But the movie turns into preaching for the last 20 minutes comparing the holocaust to the immigration crisis in Europe, both humanitarian crisis, but completely different in nature and scale.

This is a good movie with a different approach to a known story to many. The animation is good and the story itself has nice moments and can be very emotional.

Unfortunetely, the last 15 minutes are filled with nowadays propaganda as if Anne Frank is a 20 years old activist, and honestly, if i knew that, i would never watched it since i'm completely over with pretentious and political movies.

I will not spoil anything but the end itself, as a movie, left me empty as it lead me to believe one thing and then reverts completely. I'm fine with creative freedom in storytelling and i usually like unexpected endings, but i didn't liked this and my rating reflects all that.
