"Steve Jobs"(2015) is an unconventional biopic telling the story of the ups and downs of Steve Jobs through the means of his three biggest product launches.
Oh man... This movie... This movie was GREAT! I had a blast! Let's be fair here, what makes this movie is the clever dialogues and performances. It's all talking and thinking, there's nothing blowing up in this one. It's not gonna be everybody's cup of tea, but if you are already interested in it just by reading this, well, you're in for a treat. Micheal Fassbender was flawless, loved Seth Rogen's Steve Wozniak, Kate Winslet, Jeff Daniels, they were all superb. The dialogues were gripping, real, and meaningful. My only nit-pick would be the directing of Danny Boyle, I felt like it was kind off out of place at times, with his artistic involvement. It felt more like a movie for David Fincher to direct, as he is more sterile and calculated, which would be more fitting for a Steve Jobs movie. The very unique narrative structure (cutting the first, second and third act into the behind- the-scenes of the conferences) was a smart decision, it made the pacing smooth, enjoyable and unique. By the end, I just wanted more of this movie which is saying something. But, honestly, I can't see what this film would have been without Aaron Sorkin's script, he made the movie in my opinion.
8.5/10 for "Steve Jobs"(2015) :-)
