Movie Reviews

ColeSmithey.com - 10/10 by Cole SmitheyEssential viewing for any would-be or struggling screenwriters--all screenwriters struggle--Peter Hanson's uninvitingly titled documentary is a pretty straightforward affair. That's not a bad thing.
Film Journal International - 9/10 by Doris ToumarkineInteresting if not profound doc that wrangles many of the usual suspects who have played the Hollywood screenwriting game and often triumphed. Breezy fun for film buffs and aspiring writers eyeing that studio brass ring.
Filmcritic.com - 8/10 by Jules Brenneran inside perspective of what the big talents on the pedestal of major filmmaking success talk (and bitch) about.
ComingSoon.net - 8/10 by Edward DouglasIf you have any interest whatsoever in writing a screenplay or trying to get a gig writing in Hollywood, this is a must-see film and a great companion to the book.
NYC Film Critic - 8/10 by Ethan AlterThis behind-the-scenes look at the art and commerce of Hollywood screenwriting is filled with memorable yarns.
Shared Darkness - 7/10 by Brent SimonA cultured curio that offers up an unblinking look at the delicate balancing act between art and commerce that is screenwriting, and moviemaking in general.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Gary GoldsteinManages to be fun and informative without tipping too far into the dark side; it favors war stories over horror stories.
NYC Movie Guru - 7/10 by Avi Offer[It] isn't shocking or surprising, but often amusing, honest and filled with interesting kernels of confessions from a wide range of lively screenwriters.
NPR - 6/10 by Ian BuckwalterOne suspects that writers in Tales from the Script might have more to say about the art and the joy of creating, but Hanson seems less interested in their craft, spending much of the film allowing the writers to vent about the industry.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Jeffrey ChenServes more as practical discouragement, working off the idea that would-be writers are mostly deluded and starry-eyed, and what this movie can do is hammer in the reality.
