## Backstory Reviews in United Kingdom

### ***** "Indispensable"
If you&#039;re a screenwriter, filmmaker or just a movie buff interested in the behind the scenes processes then Backstory is the indispensable resource for the craft of screenwriting. Great articles, full of depth and quality sit side-by-side with small moments of delight and the result is something you&#039;ll come back to time and time again. You get the story behind the story straight from the horses mouth and I for one wouldn&#039;t be without it.
-- swinefever, 2015-01-07

### ***** "Highly recommended"
You can tell the passion and effort that goes into every issue of this magazine. I came to it through Jeff Goldsmith&#039;s Q&amp;A podcast, which is easily the best orchestrated and most insightful out there, and he&#039;s hit the same high level here - he really knows his stuff and makes the effort to dig out real gold from interviewees and other writers alike.
-- subtlethief, 2013-09-09

### ***** "A brilliant magazine!"
I regularly read Empire and Total Film magazine but this online publication is better than both those fantastic magazines combined! 
The depth and varieties of the stories, the additional downloadable content and the scrolling artwork make Backstory the best movie magazine there is! 
Download it now!

### ***** "A must read!"
Essential reading for anyone who loves film and film production.
-- Arthur Harrison, 2013-03-03

### ***** "The one we&#039;ve been waiting for..."
At long last! A decent publication on Newsstand for screenwriters. Quality assured in the capable hands of Jeff Goldsmith, whose previous screenwriting podcasts get to the nitty-gritty of the craft. Slick, engaging and interactive. Will definitely be subscribing to this.
-- D Cook, 2012-11-25

### ***** "Fantastic - a must-have for every filmmaker and storyteller"
As a professional filmmaker and avid storyteller, I&#039;ve been yearning for a magazine that perfectly captures my lifelong passion.

Backstory does just that. On top of the great, in-depth content, interviews, features on films, classic and new, you also get a finely designed and crafted magazine.

Each issue feels like a collectable coffee-table book, much like UK&#039;s finest independent film magazine, Little White Lies.

And, last but not least, each issue includes actual, beautifully formatted screenplays by some of the world&#039;s best filmmakers, which you can simply open and read from within the app.

The first issue is (still?) free, and it&#039;s made me subscribe. Hope many others will, too.
-- NewJorg, 2012-08-14

### ***** "ahead of its time"
Jeff Goldsmith&#039;s new app is a multi media tool / experience that transports you from entertainment to education to professional tool and back again. Its multi layered and totally engrossing. I have not seen anyone bring storytelling to life in the inspiring way that JG does and I have not seen any other app that works across so many areas as this. Its history, novel, screenplay, magazine, film geek fanzine, screenwriting PHD all in one. It&#039;s the way we will all do university courses in the future.
-- darrenbender, 2012-08-04

### ****- "Awesome"
Any fan of Jeff Goldsmith&#039;s amazing podcasts will love Backstory!

Puts more established digital magazines to shame and I&#039;ve already happily subscribed.

Only gripe is that retina graphics not there as yet. When that happens it&#039;ll be an easy 5 stars from me!
-- Creativeskg, 2012-06-08

### ***** "This is what a movie magazine should be. Fantastic."
Looks brilliant, great articles, and entire screenplays!
If you&#039;ve heard Jeff Goldsmiths podcasts in iTunes then you&#039;ll love this magazine. If you haven&#039;t, you&#039;ll still love this magazine and you should hear his podcasts in iTunes.
I&#039;m going to be reading this all Jubilee weekend.
