Review of Steve Jobs (2015) by Daniel C — 11 Jan 2016

Steve Jobs is a film worthy of the legendary former leader of Apple. With very solid performances, very entertaining narrative and great Sorkin script, is a life completely out of character.

As for the performances, each character is magnificently interpreted thanks to the direction of Danny Boyle. Of course, it highlights Michael Fassbender who, although he had a stigma of not physically resemble, manages to build the character in every way. His work is so flawless that I would not be surprised to see him nominated for Academy Award -for which would have a good chance.

Likewise, Seth Rogen and Kate Winslet achieve a magnificent performance while exploiting the arc of each of his characters. Particularly, I must say it is refreshing to see Rogen making a completely different role to the archetype of "stoner" to which we are accustomed, especially because it does so outstanding.

Another thing to mention is that this film, unlike Kutcher, yes tells the story of Lisa, who was the unacknowledged daughter of Steve Jobs for years. In fact, we could say that in large measure the story revolves around two characters as they adapt to their circumstances. Including Lisa is the key ingredient of the formula that makes Steve Jobs is a movie that will interest all audiences and emotional functioning in many ways.

Perhaps that did not fit was the way in which certain transitions, especially when two timelines are taken are made simultaneously with the accelerated dialogue style The Social Network. This could be confusing for some people, plus it feels strange. However, everything else is told so fluid and natural, so it looks like a situation we are living in reality. That is why they can easily forgive accelerated short time.
