Misha and the Wolves is a 2021 documentary film written and directed by Sam Hobkinson. The film examines the fraudulent 1997 Holocaust memoir of Misha Defonseca.
The film premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival on January 31, 2021.[1] On August 11, 2021, it became available on Netflix.[2]
After Defonseca's memoir, titled Misha: A Mémoire of the Holocaust Years, became a global success, her publisher began to question its veracity.
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 84% of 31 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.2/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "A stranger-than-fiction account of a too-incredible-to-be-true story, Misha and the Wolves is an engaging documentary wrapped in a thrilling mystery."[4] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 61 out of 100, based on 8 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[5]
