The Attic: The Hiding of Anne Frank

what I love is the making of this story,the film,,,it is sad tho seeing how people can be so aggressive to other people,,wanting to push and bully and even kill other people,,but the courage and kindness of some people like the lady that hide the Franks and their friends is awesome,, watching the lady that hide them is so inspirting and uplifting,,all the good people that helped the jews and anyone targeted by the nazis are incredible people,,,there are many films about these awesome people,,,such as dvd 'the courgeous heart of irena sendler',, also 'one against the wind' is the story of a young jewish lady who was able to survive in a most unusual way and be a witness to the documentation of what they did,,see film to find out what I mean,,i have it in vhs,,don't know if in dvd,,,

This is an amazing true-life story, retold well by the writers and actors. Having toured the Frank family's 'hiding place', it struck me as incredible that so many people could stay hidden as long as they did in such a tiny space. Ms. Gies and the others who helped the Franks and their friends, were courageous and strong in the face of such evil and destruction of every humane value conducted by the Nazis. My only complaint is that the film transfer is not good - the speed is off, which makes viewing difficult. I had a headache after about a half-hour of trying to watch. I wish they'd done a better job of this. One would think that with Amazon's technology, they could - and should - have done so.

This is the best retelling of the Anne Frank story. Great actors chosen here.

I love this movie but this doesn't have CC (closed captioning). I tried clicking on "off" under the Subtitles to turn it "on" for subtitle captioning but it would not work :(

Wonderful focus on a courageous woman. Mary Steenburgen's portrayal of Miep is excellent. She shows courage and fear at the same time. Her love for the Frank family is evident in this movie. The tension of getting the family to the hiding place is well acted; the same with the visit to the butcher, and her daily trek to the hiding place. Her anguish on August 4 when they are discovered makes you sad for all of them as is her desperate plea to pay for their freedom. Great movie with a different focus on the Anne Frank sad story.

As a teacher of the Holocaust, I am always trying to find resources to use with my students that will bring real people into the study. Kids today can't relate to the horrors of something like the Holocaust, and providing as much background knowledge as possible is critical. This movie very closely follows the story of the Franks and the other people in the Secret Annexe as it was told by Miep Gies. It gives the perspective of those who bravely hid Jews from the Nazis. My students are in awe of those who so willingly risked their lives for the sake of others.

I first saw this movie on a vhs recording my brother loaned me. I liked seeing the Anne Frank story from the perspective of the people who helped her and her family and risked their lives in doing so. The young girl who played the part of Anne sounded more French in her accent than Dutch.

I wish this was easier to find, and available on DVD. It is a very well done movie, and it shows the story of Anne Frank from a different perspective, which is nice. I show it every year to my 8th graders after we read the book. Miep was an amazing person, and it is nice that this movie honors her as well as Anne.

I loved this. Thinking of directing a production of The Diary of Anne Frank, I have been looking at all the available DVDs and this was great.

Enjoyed the portrayal of Anne Frank in this drama. Very gripping and well produced. Having visited Anne Frank's House, it was brought to life in this film.

This was absolutely dire with astonishingly bad acting & accents (everyones different & worse than the next persons) which made the film not only embarrassingly cringeworthy but incredibly difficult to understand & unwatchable. I honestly could not sit through it. Absolute dirge.

VERY GOOD

Good enjoyable dvd
