Critics Consensus

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.

So STEVE JOBS is more of an actor's movie in which the performances outweigh every other area of the film. Which isn't a negative, but is what it is. Take that for what it's worth.

I know exactly who Steve Jobs, Apple CEO, is. Steve Jobs feels a revelation because it exposes Steve Jobs, the man.

The Jobs here will always be "Aaron Sorkin's Jobs"... who people say was nerdier and more youthfully exuberant than the fully in-control maestro depicted in the film. But Fassbender does a great job with what he's given.

Michael Fassbender plays Jobs as a micromanaging perfectionist who wears his public persona like an exactingly-tailored suit, sharp and smooth and poised, while he fails spectacularly at maintaining personal relationships in private.

5/5

The film triumphs just as the pioneer himself as one of the most redemptive examples of hamartia in the history of the business world and popular culture.

It is so satisfying to watch good actors work with a whip-smart script and under very assured direction.

"Steve Jobs" is a movie made for theater as it consist mostly of soliloquies of characters and it is focused on Steve Jobs' three relationships before any big Apple event. It poorly characterizes Steve Jobs as a misunderstood genius when dealing with his mean-spiritedness.

I resisted watching this movie because I figured it was just another fawning biopic, probably commissioned by Jobs' estate. Then I found out Sorkin wrote it and figured it had to have some redeeming quality. Well, it far exceeded my modest expectations. It is brilliant and engaging, revealing and touching. Of course the rapid fire Sorkin dialogue is there, but what really puts it over the top is the acting, particularly Fassbinder, Winslet, Daniels and Rogen, and the emotional depth.

I wanted to like this a whole lot more, but too many inconsistencies for my liking. The performances were very well done, but the story lacked much depth for me to get intrigued. It felt slow yet quick and I couldn't figure out which one it really was.

I've followed Apple since the beginning. This movie doesn't tell the Apple story. It doesn't do justice to the company Mantra.

This movie really shows us the personal struggles that Steve Jobs had, in his personal life, and work life. I really liked it, from the launch of the Macintosh that needed to be perfect, to re-building a relationship with his daughter. Loved it and highly recommend it!

Aaron Sorkin's script never fails and Michael Fassbender's performance as Steve Jobs was the best lead performance of 2015, he should've won the Oscar.
