Style over substance

Rating: 5/10 (24 September 2018)

Despite the actor, writer and director big hitters, this presentation manages to lose audience interest just part way in. We all know of Jobs' difficult reputation but his portrayal here provides neither realistic nor believable story telling. Here we are presented a man who goes into a funk the moment someone acts, thinks, or speaks their own truth. Thus, we are led to believe Jobs thinks he is god and cannot be crossed. Instead of creating light he has it extinguished, makes computers look like sharks and refuses to acknowledge the numerous slights and hurts he unnecessarily causes to all around him...oh, apart from his big funders. Similarly, this film casts no light on the man and his motives, trashes the reputations of bystanders and leaves you gnashing your teeth for having wasted your time and money.
