User Reviews

How many Steve Jobs movies is too many? We may never know, as Director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, 127 Hours) and Writer Arron Sorkin (A Few Good Men, TV's- Newsroom) come together to present a rapid paced behind the scenes look into the world of Steve Jobs, his personal relationships and demons, the history of Apple, and the launch of the iMac. Michael Fassbender doesn't start out a likely candidate to play Job's, however, his commitment to the character and later transformation is spot on. Kate Winslet is equally in her acting element, as Job's longtime assistance (slight accent and all) Joanna Hoffman. Rounding out the top billing is "it" man of the hour (and consistently excellent) Jeff Daniels as Apple's headman John Sculley, and Seth Rogen as Steve Wozniak. This film succeeds due to the Boyle's directing and Sorkin's confrontational and intense dialogue that captures and draws the audience in. Actors Michael Stuhlbang (Seven Psychopaths), Katherine Waterston (Inherent Vice) and the various youth actors portraying Jobs' daughter Lisa (Perla Haney-19; Ripley Sobo-9;Makenzie Moss-5) are perfectly cast as thorns in Jobs' side. If enough movie goers see this film, Director Danny Boyle, and several of the aforementioned actors, will be recognized come Award season.
