Joe O'Connell Austin Chronicle An overlong but insightful documentary. Aug 29, 2016 Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire A welcome (and, frankly, a bit overdue) corrective to the Jobs hagiography. May 28, 2016 Full Review Richard Brody The New Yorker Despite the movie's journalistic substance, the pleasure-free banality of its style gets in the way of a view of Jobs himself, whose work is as much aesthetic as it is industrial. Sep 14, 2015 Full Review Michael J. Casey Michael J. Cinema If there is a man in the machine, it is most likely Gibney. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 22, 2021 Full Review Matt Warren Battleship Pretension Is Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine interesting? Yes. Is it particularly cinematic? No. Would I recommend paying money to watch it in theaters? I would not. Jan 14, 2021 Full Review Mae Abdulbaki Movies with Mae An honest film about the life of Jobs. Using archive footage and interviewing the people who were closest to him, the film removes the rose-colored glasses to bring us the real man behind the technology that we are so very fond of today. Rated: 4/5 May 2, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Munkhchimeg T Thank you to everyone who made this movie. I really like Steve Jobs and thanks to have opportunity to watch his life and stories. He is absolutely human machine Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review Geke g How human-being born-clever like him. Like i cant imagine this modern world without products that developed. This movie also filmed like him Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Gnr E Steve jobs really a great man! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Christian S Well done! This was an excellent historical piece. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Audience Member No interviews with happy co-workers/employees, current family, friends, etc. This was a takedown. Just a couple of disgruntled individuals, albeit they did seem fortunate to have worked at Apple and have known Steve. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Amazing documentary. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The end seemed was conclusive and well-thought of.
