This movie tried to be poignant but was FAR too poorly made to reach that. The story was bad, the acting mediocre, and the director/writer seemed to be using the story of Anne Frank but lacked the story telling and directing skills to pull it off in a believable manner. I do not care about the lack of action or use of witchcraft. This story was just not told well. It was far too predictable. The protagonist was not played well. I found myself laughing at a few moments of this film simply because it did not stay true to its own story. It rambled and contradicted itself. I am surprised a studio thought this was something to invest in. It may have touched a chord with a few but all it touched was my desire to have the time back.
