MISHA AND THE WOLVES celebrates World Premiere in World Cinema Documentary Competition at Sundance

MISHA AND THE WOLVES premiered last night to great acclaim. We are still sifting through the amazing feedback from the industry and public. Here are some of the first reactions:

“Extraordinary… few things are as pleasurable in movies as having the rug pulled out from under you.”
– Variety

“Unfolds with the page-turning urgency of a great detective mystery.”
– Screen International

“Your next documentary obsession… a roller-coaster ride of truth, imagination and storytelling.”
– USA TODAY

“Something like a documentary “Inception” with a story inside of a tale that is itself part of a narrative.”
– The Playlist

“MISHA AND THE WOLVES - This highly cinematic and sympathetic film delves into fascinating questions of epistemological richness, all with a slick presentation reminiscent of a psychological thriller. Like PSYCHO it's best seen with NO expectations”
– Jason Gorber via Twitter

“MISHA AND THE WOLVES is such a wild rollercoaster. Unpredictable at every turn. Wow.”
– Robert Daniels via Twitter

“Wow. MISHA AND THE WOLVES is the documentary of the festival so far. (…) Please, please check this one out.”
– In Session Film, Amy Smith via Twitter

MISHA AND THE WOLVES is the dramatic tale of a woman whose Holocaust memoir took the world by storm, before a fallout with her publisher — who turned detective — revealed an audacious deception created to hide a darker truth.

The 2021 Sundance Film Festival runs from 28 January through to 3 February as a socially distanced edition with screenings at drive-in theaters and independent cinemas across the US, complemented by a digital event schedule.
