Review of Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine (2015) by Nicholas R — 29 Dec 2015

At the great divide, comprised of the pro- and anti-Steve forces, Gibney tilts decidedly towards the anti, emphasizing his megelomaniacal personality and anti-social behavior in both personal and professional terms.

The strength of the piece is the use of a vast storehouse of film and tape of the subject himself, a public figure for decades, as well as interviews with many of those closest to him, especially the naysayers.

I found this a much more satisfying cinematic experience than Aaron Sorkin's fabulation, much less the dreary biopic featuring a talent-starved Ashton Kutcher.
