Rossini said of Wagner's music that there were "lovely moments, but awful quarters of an hour". Steve Jobs was similar, except it didn't have any lovely moments.
Oh for Pete's sake how did this film come into existence? And then be nominated for, and WIN!!! multiple awards. It was rubbish.
Aaron Sorkin's script, constructed from his standard walk-and-talks and stand-still-and-talks, was laughable. Danny Boyle's attempts to tart it up with dutch angles, flash cuts and non-diegetic elements were pitiful. The hoped-for similarity to Birdman was just tragic.
Besides that, it was obviously one of those incestuously chummy films where the above-the-line luvvies had fun while the paying audience of commoners had NONE.
Absolutely pathetic!
