From Academy Award® winning director Caroline Link (Nowhere in Africa)'s comes an adaptation of acclaimed British author Judith Kerr's classic novel based on her childhood memories. The story of a Jewish family's escape from 1933 Berlin to Europe tackles prejudice, exile, displacement and adaptation, as told from the perspective of the author's alter ego, nine year-old Anna Kemper (Riva Krymalowski in her feature film debut). Anna is too busy with schoolwork and friends to notice Hitler's face glaring from posters plastered all over 1933 Berlin. But when her father (Oliver Masucci) -- based on the prominent theater critic Alfred Kerr -- suddenly vanishes, the family is secretly hurried out of Germany. Anna begins to understand life will never be the same as she and her family navigate unfamiliar lands and cope with the challenges of being refugees.

Overall, it just didn't seem as if there was enough real danger happening in this movie given what it's really about. Go to Full Review

A moving but unsentimental WWII exodus story... Go to Full Review
Guy Lodge Variety May 21, 2021
In this bright, engaging film, Kerr's story is faithfully and lovingly preserved, though its tougher, quirkier details are mollified by a layer of palatable movie gloss. Go to Full Review

4/5
A beautifully acted, poignant coming-of-age refugee drama that shows the harrowing life during wartime without being overly somber and depressing. Go to Full Review
Betsy Bozdech AWFJ.org Jan 11, 2022
When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit is geared more toward viewers who are the same age as Anna and Max. Their resilience will hopefully inspire empathy and compassion in modern kids who see the film, underlining the destructive impact of nationalism... Go to Full Review

B-plus
Krymalowski brings a vivacious energy to a movie that would otherwise be a long trudge to safe haven. And director Link makes good use of the scenery to suggest that, to the children at least, each destination is practically another planet. Go to Full Review
