Oh my god! It was the worst movie I have ever seen. It sucked so bad, that I threw up. I was bored all through the movie that I fell asleep. It sucked. Never, ever, make a movie like that again... Full review

San Francisco Chronicle
The movie has virtues and failings.....The biggest problem may be the casting of MEillie Perkins, a young model who hadn't acted before, as Anne.....It's great to see Diane Baker, Lou Jacobi, Gusti Huber and Ed Wynn.....Director George Stevens has sometimes been unfairly dismissed as a maker of "prestige" mainstream movies ("Gunga Din," "Shane," "Giant")..... ...

Monsters and Critics
The Diary of Anne Frank is a profoundly moving film and this new edition adds some fantastic new special features.....It is a highly recommended purchase for fans of classic cinema.....The film was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including best picture, supporting actor (Ed Wynn), costume design, director, and score.....Stevens' movie is nothing short of fabulous in both its execution and ability to move the heart.....Shelley Winters would win for supporting actress and it would win for best art directi ...

the filmmakers did an admirable job in keeping this three hour film interesting.....The Diary of Anne Frank" is a powerful story that may not be a technical masterpiece....Truth be told, I have not watched "The Diary of Anne Frank....This romantic relationship is a central theme in the film and one of the strongest subplots..... ...

DVD Talk
So-called inspirational movies were easy to come by after WW2.....The film is confined mostly to a dull set yet never seems stagy or visually hampered.....Stevens' film is remarkably sensitive, especially given when it was made.....Lou Jacobi is a good but temptable man too cynical for his own comfort.....Richard Beymer is consistently interesting as the boy who makes a private life for himself in a situation with zero privacy..... ...

Just Press Play
The restoration of the film dazzles.....After that, however, excuses for Schindler's List 's supremacy over The Diary of Anne Frank become harder to produce.....You could be the greatest actress in the world....her writings survived to tell her harrowing story of survival becomes borderline miraculous.....The crystal clear pictures help to fascinate considering the camera doesn't have much movement..... ...
