I gave this documentary a 10 because of the importance of getting the truth out about the fake Holocaust memoire created by Misha Defonseca. Some people believe she is psychologically unwell, which is true, but after watching the documentary I would say that beyond her questionable psychological well-being, greed was the driving force. Using the Holocaust to prey on people's compassion was her Machiavellian tactic which is why I don't really buy into her excuse that she confused reality with fantasy. I used "disturbing" as the title of this review because while I felt she was lying from the minute I saw an image of her, she she managed to con many people to the point of suing her publisher for millions of dollars. I mean, disturbing, greedy and shameful to boot. I don't undermine her own suffering which I do think was real, but instead of using a truthful path to heal her wounds, she chose to humiliate an entire community. She turned down an appearance on Oprah maybe because she feared Oprah would figure her out? It would be the move that would cause her downfall... Checkmate.
