As original and risk-taking as its subject, "Steve Jobs" will make you think differently about an American icon.
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.
Thanks to Fassbender's revelatory performance, Jobs comes across as a captivating monster, a dictator in a black turtleneck who is impossible to ignore.
It entertains and enlightens, and it's bang on in showing how great ideas are born not through compromise but through vision and determination.
The acting is unarguably, uniformly strong.
The dialogue crackles with wit, anger, and passion. By matching Sorkin's words with Boyle's style and Fassbender's talent, Steve Jobs has hit the trifecta.
Audience Reviews for Steve Jobs
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.
Super Reviewer
An intelligent and well-acted character study that avoids being another full-life biopic about Steve Jobs and does instead a remarkable job to flesh 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
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
