ANNE FRANK: PARALLEL STORIES (Theatrical Release Italy 2019)

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì 

Anne Frank: Parallel Stories has interesting interviews from female women who survived the Holocaust and provides a surprisingly large selection of interviewees. Helen Mirren seems an odd choice for narrator of this documentary fiction due to her high-level actress status…almost a little intimidating and overwhelming in this role. The documentary is freshly updated due to its presentation; the camerawork uses good transitions between each new scene. The documentary fiction serves an audience who has not seen or been aware of the Anne Frank story.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Yes. This fiction documentary educates and could easily serve as a good film to introduce anyone 10-years and up to the Anne Frank story.
