Nonureva Really Surprised!

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Steveco52 The movie ended before it should have, in my opinion. It didn't cover the last 15 or so years of his life, which was very productive. He introduced IPads, IPods, iPhone and none of this was covered in the movie.

HarlekwinBlog The problem with biographical pieces about the recently departed is that everyone has a perspective. Especially if that person is famous. Even more so if that person is deemed to have changed or inspired a whole generation.This is an okay drama of a moment in time but does not feel entirely balanced. Perhaps it is and this is my filter, my perspective if you will, on the subject matter.Jobs was and continues to be a giant in the computer industry. This movie won't diminish that, nor will it enhance it.

Michael Ledo This is an odd way to do a biography and was more of a character study with flashbacks. The film is divided into three basic scenes and if you are concerned about PLOT SPOILERS don't read on, but I will be gentle. The first 35 minutes of the film is a behind the scenes look at the roll out of the MAC computer. We meet Joanna Hoffman (Kate Winslet) his "work wife" and right arm. We also meet his daughter Lisa and her mother (Katherine Waterston) along with the major characters at Apple. The next 40 minutes is a behind the scenes look at the roll out of the Cube, and again we get more character study of Steve (Michael Fassbender) and more flashbacks...and some more of Lisa. The rest of the film jumps to 1998 and behind the scenes look at roll out of I-MAC and more of Lisa.If you want a biography and a film most people can easily digest the Ashton Kutcher film is superior. This film has some aspects for the technology based audience as well as those who are curious about the unusual father-daughter relationship that Jobs maintained. Steve Jobs is portrayed as an intense individual who is a perfectionist, condescending and difficult to work with. I think I said that politely.This film won't have universal appeal but had great performances.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

Clifton Johnson Aaron. Sorkin. How this film bombed I will never fully understand. Bio pics rarely work. Where to start? Where to finish? But this structure and storytelling turned it all upside down. In each act, you knew why you were there. You knew what each character wanted. Sorkin and Boyle liberated themselves from chronology, and art finally imitated life as a result. Oh, and every actor NAILED IT. This film reminded me that storytelling matters. Because even Steve Jobs can be boring (Um, hi Ashton.) or brilliant. This time? It was the latter
