Critics Consensus

Like the tech giant co-founded by its subject, Steve Jobs gathers brilliant people to deliver a product whose elegance belies the intricate complexities at its core.

Candice Frederick

Reel Talk Online

So STEVE JOBS is more of an actor's movie in which the performances outweigh every other area of the film. Which isn't a negative, but is what it is. Take that for what it's worth.

Rated: B+

I know exactly who Steve Jobs, Apple CEO, is. Steve Jobs feels a revelation because it exposes Steve Jobs, the man.

Baltimore Magazine

The Jobs here will always be "Aaron Sorkin's Jobs"... who people say was nerdier and more youthfully exuberant than the fully in-control maestro depicted in the film. But Fassbender does a great job with what he's given.

Rated: 3/4

Every Movie Has a Lesson

The film triumphs just as the pioneer himself as one of the most redemptive examples of hamartia in the history of the business world and popular culture.

Rated: 5/5

It is so satisfying to watch good actors work with a whip-smart script and under very assured direction.

Deep Focus Review

Although highly theatrical in Sorkin's application of his dramaturgy, Steve Jobs also happens to be some of the best cinema offered in 2015.

Rated: 4/4

Aaron Sorkin's script never fails and Michael Fassbender's performance as Steve Jobs was the best lead performance of 2015, he should've won the Oscar.

Not knowing anything about Jobs beforehand he comes across as another obnoxious tech bro and remains one, whilst we follow his journey of manipulating the creation of a new computer for everyone. Rich men screwing over the rest of the staff, & other brains, to achieve their personal legacies. The pace is slow with a wordy script feeding us background info rather than flashbacks. I think this would’ve suited a theatre stage much better than a cinema screen. Just left me with an empty meh feeling.

Much like The Social Network, 'Steve Jobs' is a perfect film. Aaron Sorkin has outdone himself with an incredibly compelling character study.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e mais relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom.

The movie felt like one really long argument, but it was still intriguing and fun to watch. I thought the 2013 Jobs movie was better, but this movie is still pretty good. I definitely recommend it for drama fans!

Un logro de película ya que nos sumerge en la historia de apple sin caer en la imágen de telenovela que se siente ficticia, además de nos sumerge en entender al hombre detrás de Steve jobs.
