For a film about Jews during WWII, I thought I'd be more moved by the story. It just seemed kind of bland, shallow, and lifeless. Part of the problem is with the animation. These days, I guess we're a bit spoiled by the amazing and lifelike animation by studios like Disney and Pixar. The animation in Charlotte was very simple and seemed out of date. I also found the dialogue quite stilted and unemotional. Then there's the whole issue about her poisoning her grandfather. It was barely mentioned in the movie. Another reviewer mentioned that she admitted to killing him in 2015. Rather difficult since she died in a concentration camp in 1943. And that's another thing that was glossed over. Her dying at Auschwitz wasn't mentioned until the recap at the end of the film. Truthfully, I was relatively unmoved by this lifeless film.
