Alexander S Steve Jobs chronicles Apple’s establishment and its products through Aaron Sorkin’s witty dialogue, delivered with remarkable performances from Michael Fassbender as Steve Jobs, Kate Winslet, and even a decent Seth Rogen performance for a drama film. In my taste, the film could have benefited from brief flashbacks to Steve Jobs’ early years, providing a clearer glimpse into Apple’s gradual establishment. Grading: B Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review Kevin P A very tense and focused insightful character study of Steve Jobs and his desire for technological perfection coming at odds with his personal relationships through a clever setup with 3 major press tours of his career. Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, and Seth Rogen all knock it out of the park. The movie does a great job tearing down Steve Job’s inhumane ruthless qualities in a more grounded format of showing instead of telling. Whether it’s with Steve Wozniak, his former boss, or even his own daughter. I admit it would’ve been nice to see the ex-girlfriend one last time, though her daughter’s final words on her was nice. The movie arguably somewhat pulls its punches near the end with its conclusive view of Steve Jobs, but to be fair he still ended things poorly with Woz, Andy, and his wife. Plus he arguably got slightly softer with age. I appreciated the consistency of Kate Winslet’s character not taking any of Steve Job’s sh*t and being a mouthpiece for the movie’s central mission statements about control and how we prioritize what’s important to us. The soundtrack is wonderfully in-tune with the movie’s content without overshadowing it either. It’s a bit of a rough watch, but it’s emotionally potent and easily one of the best biopics out there for its precise focus on the most interesting aspects of one of the most pivotal technological pioneers in American history.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Rich S An Aaron Sorkin script with good actors who gave their best effort made this version of Steve Jobs' life palatable enough that even Steve Jobs would have given it the OK. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Tommy V Steve Jobs, the movie, written by the legendary Aaron Sorkin and directed by the not otherwise extraordinary Danny Boyle is a masterpiece of cinema, so I had to burst out posting about it. They nailed Michael Fassbander for playing Jobs, Seth Rogen for Wozniak, Jeff Daniels for Scully and the cast goes on. Job's story is probably the most frequently filmed biopic ever and yet they found a new angle showing Jobs' inhuman nature and the burden he carried and why he did so. It is not short of making your eyes water up when it questions what it is to be successful, a father, good or bad, a human being. If I told you the plot which is the 3 half hours before the 3 Apple product lunches then you could not possibly prepare for the emotional and philosophical load it is to unfold. Steve Jobs, the way you've never seen him. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/28/24 Full Review Robert P Disappointing. A Sorkin self-parody replete with endless corridor-walking and ‘everyone’s a whip-smart smartass” script. Decades after the West Wing, Sorkin still over-polishes his dialogue and provides no variation in speaking style between the main characters. The repeated “five minutes mr presley” device soon induces boredom not tension. After the first hour I took a break due to wordiness-exhaustion and couldn’t believe we were only 60 minutes into this. Oh, and nothing much happens. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
