This movie is unfortunately poorly put together. I had trouble from the beginning as "Sir Ben Kinglsey" acted as Otto Frank. His accent was poor, and although he looks like Mr.Frank, He seemed to have over-dramatized his role. The other members of the annex were O.K along the lines of acting, but the look wasn't right. Peter is nothing like he supposed to look, Mrs. VanPels is nothing but a large lady in a Dress. And Mr.Pheffer is not suited for his role as Fritz. The movie from beginning to end is choppy, and very sloppy with little scenes from the Annex, and way to many scenes of Anne's life beforehand. The scenes with the Annex are making it seem like it was huge! It most certainly not. The shining stars are Hannah Taylor Gordon as Anne, for she not only looks the part, but she acts in the most brilliant way I've seen since Millie Perkins as Anne. If they were both to meld to be Anne, I would love to see it. Also Lili Taylor was brilliant as Miep Gies. For A Real Anne Frank Movie See George Stevens version of the timeless classic.
