Critics Consensus

Comparatively light on horror, "I Am Anne Frank, Part 2" is still full of twists and frights, topped with the return of one hair-raising main character.

At Briarcliff, it's hard to tell what's real. Fitting for an insane asylum. When liars speak, we see their vision. We see fantasies. Who is good, who bad? I'm now on team Jude.

4/5

This show is so methed out that a graphic lobotomy scene is one of the calmer moments of this episode.

As usual, the episode was a dark mirror to the dark stories that fill our culture, fictional and otherwise.

It's so refreshing to have a show that's not afraid to advance the plot. Too many shows spend an entire season barely advancing anything, only to have everything happen in the last two episodes.

Despite its full embrace of low-culture tropes, "I Am Anne Frank (Part 2)" verged on high art. SO GOOD.

Holy cow, did part two step up and knock it out of the park. This is an absolute game changer of an episode, providing so many left turns that it's impossible to tell just where American Horror Story: Asylum will go from here.
