Superb cast but poor screen writing

Rating: 5/10 (9 March 2016)

This movie features excellent performances by Kate Winslet, Michael Fassbender and Jeff Daniels. The direction and cinematography is okay, but the screen writing leaves much to be desired.
The writer focuses almost entirely on the difficulties in Steve Jobs relationships with those around him. I think the movie is unfair and degrading not only to Jobs, but to several of those most important to him such as Steve Wozniak, John Scully and (his daughter?) Lisa.
It would have been better if the movie went deeper into the historical importance of each advancement in the computer industry. It barely mentions that the NeXT Computer and NeXTSTEP operating system were the platform used for creating the World Wide Web.
Instead we are given a series of nasty, personal arguments backstage involving Jobs and several important people in his life moments before three iconic product launches.
