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.

A redemptive fable at once artful, elegant, and clean. But by stripping out any and all complications, the movie denies itself the opportunity for nuance and puts a ceiling on its own ambition. Oct 17, 2015 | Full Review…

Thanks to Fassbender's revelatory performance, Jobs comes across as a captivating monster, a dictator in a black turtleneck who is impossible to ignore. Oct 16, 2015 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

It entertains and enlightens, and it's bang on in showing how great ideas are born not through compromise but through vision and determination. Oct 16, 2015 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

It's hard to know if the real Steve Jobs reached any kind of redemption in real life, but the film certainly succeeds at his portrayal as someone who is able to liberate himself. [Full Review in Spanish] Feb 13, 2019 | Full Review…

With a stellar cast and a screenplay from Aaron Sorkin that sizzles from the first word until the final line, this is a much better attempt to capture the man behind Apple. Jan 17, 2019 | Rating: A- | Full Review…

This is a deeply enjoyable movie which deserves to have the longevity of the iMac, instead of being ignored and then forgotten by audiences like the neXT computer. Nov 1, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

An intelligent and well-acted character study that avoids being another full-life biopic about Steve Jobs and does instead a remarkable job in fleshing out his personality through three public events in his life and a few flashbacks - which, in turn, suffer a bit from some clumsy editing.
Super Reviewer
Interesting take to concentrate on the last minutes and conversations Jobs had before his three biggest launch presentations in 84, 88 and 98. It helps to have some basic knowledge of his career and products at the time, because there is not much explaining offered here. Of course a film relying entirely on characters talking has to have a killer script, and it does. The writing is fantastic, and the acting just as exceptional. That makes for a so much more entertaining film than expected, albeit a limited one in his portrayal of the controversial figure. There are plenty of reasons to assume many of those conversations actually happened, but can we assume we know the full picture? Still, very powerful and rewarding.
Michael Fassbender offers a remarkable performance in this rapid and complex biopic. Steve Jobs' fascinating direction and perplexing narrative conjures up a solid perspective on a visionary figure and path. 4/5
Quite likely, the most boring film I have seen in years. Good acting, but sub-par script with poor lighting, sound, editing and cinematography.
