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.

marpot86 My Mother always told me the story of Anne Frank when I was a child, she told me about a young German Jewish girl who hid from the Nazi's in Amsterdam with her family and kept a diary during World War 2. For some reason she never told me( or I just didn't remember ) what happened to her in the end. Not ashamed to say the end of this series very nearly destroyed me, probably the saddest scene in any film I have ever watched. Ellie Kendrick is the best Anne I have seen. Unlike Anne Frank: The whole story this series contains direct quotes from Anne's diary. It only follows Anne's time in hiding, unlike Anne Frank: The whole story which deals with Anne's life before hiding, during hiding and after capture.This is an important series that should be seen by all. It changed my life.

Shounak Reza ''The Diary of Anne'' (2009) is an accurate adaption of Anne Frank's diary. It's a very nice movie. I am very much interested about Anne Frank and I've seen six movies about Anne Frank. The 2009 adaption of Anne's diary is a fine one. Although it is not as excellent as ''Anne Frank: The Whole Story'' (2001), it is a very moving miniseries and can give the audience a clear idea about Anne Frank. The casting was excellent. Ellie Kendrick- I have no words to describe her- gave an amazing performance as Anne Frank. Really, Ellie is a talented young actress. I'd also like to praise the performances of Felicity Jones who played Margot Frank, Geoff Breton who played Peter van Daan and Tamsin Greig who played Edith Hollander Frank. And Nicholas Ferrell, who played Albert Dussel, also gave a wonderful performance. Lesley Sharp who played Petronella van Daan and Kate Ashfield who played Miep Gies also gave wonderful performances. The casting was, in short, excellent. The story was also arranged in such a way that we liked the movie very much. But I'd like to say that ''Anne Frank: The Whole Story'' and ''The Attic: The Hiding of Anne Frank'' were better than ''The Diary of Anne Frank'' (2009), but still, the 2009 adaption was indeed a nice one and I liked it. I'd like to give the movie: 7 out of 10.

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?
