Diary for My Children is set in Hungary during the turbulent years between 1943 and 1956. Jan Nowicki plays a dual role as the factory-worker friend of revolutionary journalist Anna Polony, and as the political-prisoner father of teen-aged heroine Zsusza Czinkoczi. It is Czinkoczi's involvement with both of the men played by Nowicki, which bridges the film's time-frame. (allmovie)

Juli's growing embitterment and detachment, in the face of cold, war-hardened Magda's struggle to be motherly, is a spectacle to behold. The characters and relationships are so complex and well-drawn, and some of the dialogue has the splendor of high literature.

Rated 29 Jan 2022

Complex characters and a complex exploration of the inner world of a teenager girl in 1940s and 50s of communist Hungary. There are some interesting memory images and flashbacks that somehow remind me of Tarkovsky's Zerkalo. But the plot doesn't really develop into something meaningful as the movie cannot avoid a melodramatic tone. Mediocre.
