More like a theater piece -- refreshing and fascinating

Rating: 8/10 (29 September 2016)

I've watched this film now twice within a week time span. Being familiar with some aspects of Steve Jobs' life, I was fascinated with how biographical details are woven into the script. Also seeing the launching of 3 different products was compelling on some level as it is the behind the scenes look at these events that makes up the action.
This film is written more like a theater piece with very strong dialogue and characters. I'm not familiar with screenwriter, Aaron Sorkin, and his other work so I was not prepared to be drawn into this film as much as I was.
Regarding the acting, Kate Winslet's immersion into her role was admirable and something I've grown to realize she, as an actor, does very very well. Michael Fassbinder, I'd heard about being a talented actor, and his portrayal of Steve Jobs is a testament to this. I also believe Seth Rogen as "Woz" is very good, and I was glad to see him in a dramatic role.
