Misha e os Lobos

Wow. Amazing story, within a story of a story.

A great documentary with twists, turns and tumbles. Watch it without googling anything about it first.. then google yourself into the wee hours after. Brilliant docco.

Amazing twists and turns. Good editing and images. Unpredictable outcome.

I won't give anything away but this was something else.

If Netflix went for quality like this instead of quantity and streaming any cruddy documentary out there they've the gold standard of streaming.

This was a heck of a story.

It's an amazing story with its own unexpected turns. One has his/her own way of looking at Misha and her story. The detective work of Belgian Evelyne Haendel, a Holocaust survivor herself, is remarkable. She was really persistent. In the end, Deborah Dwork's words ring true. Misha's story affects the story of all other Holocaust survivors.

The artist's sketches to aid in storytelling are noteworthy.

Misha and the Wolves takes a while to get going, a long while. And toward the middle, it really bogs down. But the last 20-30 minutes are a decent payoff.

If this documentary were edited better, and if we lost the 20-30 minutes of people staring at the camera and making faces, it would have been so much better.

This could have been a stellar 40-50 minute piece. Instead, it felt very stretched out and felt time-wastingly slow.

I had to stop halfway through and check in with the friend who recommended it to me. He told me the twist at the end was worth it, and it was.

I still recommend watching it, but I'd recommend multitasking for the first 50-60 minutes.
