„That the film’s lessons about intolerance are still urgent is hardly news. And yet there’s something surprisingly urgent in the way Folman and company turn clean, simple lines into full-blooded characters“ Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter, 09/07/2021
„Ari Folman has created richly imaginative storytelling which unselfconsciously mixes the historical, the contemporary and the supernatural“ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 09/07/2021
„The superb animation Where is Anne Frank by Ari Folman is a standout gem. There are lots of films about the refugee crisis that have been made over the past decade, as refugees flooded into the continent after the so-called Arab Spring, but this one stands out for being family-friendly and holding the old colonial powers to account for commemorating figures such as Anne Frank but forgetting the lessons of her life when asked to show sympathy with those fleeing war zones.„ - Kaleem Aftab, Cineuropa, 09/07/2021
