Werewolves Within News
Me watching the filming on the monitor
So excited for, Werewolves Within. It's in theaters June 25, 2021--written by yours truly, directed by Josh Ruben. The movie stars Sam Richardson (Veep), Milana Vayntrub (This is Us) and a comedic ensemble so talented they made everything they touched entertaining. Here's some fun write ups on it, and the Entertainment Weekly piece even has some awesome stills from the set.
IN THE PRESS
“
All of Wolff’s experiences funnel into this buoyant memoir, which is rich in detail but never feels overembellished...the tone manages to be light and triumphant because of the hilarious child-goggles Wolff wears while spinning her tales. Grade—A

“
Wolff's storytelling borderlines on brilliance, and indeed rises above that line... To a humorous and often touching effect, Wolff replays a journey than not all of the members of her family were willing to take.

Mishna Wolff’s I’m Down (St. Martin’s Press) is an
authentically funny, truly transcendent work that
makes other, sorry-voiced memoirs by a certain more
privileged class of writer pale—pun intended—by comparison.
