Trivia
The movie is based on the real-life friendship between Anne Frank and Hannah Goslar. Director Ben Sombogaart has stated that he frequently visited the real Goslar, who was in her nineties and living in Israel, to hear her story. She urged him to finish the movie as fast as possible, as she was in relatively poor health and desperately wanted to see it before her death. Despite delays in production due to the COVID-19 crisis, Sombogaart was able to show the finished movie to Goslar and her family, who all loved it.

My friendly neighbor

The movie has Anne Frank in the title, but it stars a different person. A friend of hers, who has her own journey and her own struggles ... and her own problems to survive. That being said, that should not deter you from watching this.

Nor the fact that it switches from good times to a harsh reality - which makes viewing this quite the hard task to say the least. Just when you see the girls/friends happy, you get taken away from that and shown concentration camps or other horrible things that (mainly) Jews had to endure back then.

Watching this - one can only hope that comparisons that are being made right now, are going to stop. I do not want to get too political, but when there is a pandemic, you should not compare yourself to people that were actually hunted and had to die for no reason at all - and not being able or having a choice in the matter.

But the movie was not made to be compared to nowadays. It was made to show how cruel or rather how horrible of a time it was back then ... and in that the movie succeeds.
