The imagined Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs (2015)

Directed by Danny Boyle this film stars Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Jeff Daniels and Seth Rogen. We follow Steve Jobs as he prepares to launch three different computers at three different times in his life.

It is inevitable this film will be compared to Jobs (2013) but this film relies much more on fiction to create a picture of Steve Jobs rather than being a more standard biography. The script is clearly an Aaron Sorkin piece from the get go and is constructed very much like a play. I very much enjoyed the performances and direction but in the end I'm not sure this film really nailed it's subject either as it relies too much on speculation or invention.


4/5
