Anne Frank: The Whole Story delivers exactly what it promises: the incredibly moving complete story of Anne Frank, going beyond what the Jewish teenage girl wrote in her widely read diary. Anne, along with her family and friends of her family, hid in a secret annex behind her father's office in Amsterdam during the Nazi occupation of Holland. She dutifully kept a diary, which became a worldwide bestseller when her father published it in the 1950s. The story has been adapted for television and movies before, but this version, which played on ABC television, moves beyond what Anne wrote, meeting up with the Frank family before Anne receives her diary, and following her past the diary's last entries into Auschwitz and Birkenau. Hannah Taylor Gordon is a superb Anne, bringing to life the multifaceted girl, in turns intelligent, dreamy, creative, spoiled, and bratty, a girl like any other except that Anne is a Jew in Nazi-occupied Holland. The only one who outshines Gordon is Ben Kingsley as Anne's father, Otto Frank. His quiet performance is extraordinarily powerful; as he watches his family slip away, it is impossible not to feel his grief. This brave film is difficult in parts to watch--the concentration camp scenes are brutal--but this is a remarkable adaptation of Anne's life, and it is a film to be shared and discussed and remembered. --Jenny Brown

Rating:  - Good Movie
This movie gives a good insight on what Anne Frank went through during this horrible time. I only wished to see more of the wide spread result of Hitler's insanity.
Rating:  - Anne
Fabulous, loved the fact that it is her life before, during and after the diary.
Rating: - Powerful, multi dimensional portrait
The combination of outstanding acting and material from many sources provides a moving, sometimes horrifying, often warm picture of not only Anne Frank but the love and dedication which sustained many during the horrors of the Holocaust. Normally, the very thought of the time and place is enough to make one shudder, and to envision a world of pure evil and hatred. Though there is no gloss on that aspect, and the concentration camp scenes do not minimise the horror, the mutual caring of those in the ... Read More
Rating: - Excellence
This is an excellent presentation of the story of beloved Anne Frank, the story, the acting, the presentation, all are excellently and marvelously presented. Ben Kingsley shines in the role of the Father of Anne Frank, and the young actress playing Anne is simply a delight. Albeit, this is not a movie meant to entertain, it deeply probes and represents the truth and the original context of the Story of Anne Frank and the circumstances around her life. This movie will leave one shaken, moved, and touched, ... Read More
Rating:  - Good TV movie
Ben Kingsley is one of the great actors of our time. His performance here as Otto Frank conveys quiet strength in the face of unfathomable sorrow. But the episodic nature (where the commercial breaks are too obvious) and the tour de force allotted to young Hannah Taylor-Gordon verges on becoming a pity-party. This is, after all, a Disney film.
Would I use it in the classroom? Probably not, because of (brief) bare breasts in the concentration camp, and because the teleplay by Kirk Ellis ["The ... Read More
