Two hours of dialogue. It works for me. Actually it works excellent.

Rating: 8/10 (4 February 2016)

This well-acted film tells us the complex and troubled story of Steve Jobs and his turbulent road to success. The film may seem a bit slow, with lots and lots of dialogue, which there are, but that did not bother me at all.
Danny Boyle did a very good job connecting Jobs' different disputes or arguments he had with certain people in the past to the present events in the film. We get to see how important it was for Jobs to achieve what he wanted to, and for him to succeed other had to suffer. Michael Fassbender portrays Jobs as a very cold and arrogant person, and makes it very believable. He shows us why he got his second Academy Awards nomination for this role, and I surely wouldn't be surprised if he came out on top.
The credit should also go out to the supporting actors who did a very fine job as well. Seth Rogen, Kate Winslet and especially Jeff Daniels. He plays John Sculley, the president of Apple Inc at the time. He brings so much dynamic and friction to this film and made the entire experience very memorable. He is such an underrated actor and for me he deserved the Oscar nod for best supporting actor over Kate Winslet - though Winslet did a very good job as Joanna Hoffman; the marketing executive of Apple Inc.
You really feel for the people around Steve Jobs. They've got to handle his big personality and ,for lack of a better word, "I'm better than you"-attitude. Everyone gets their chance to rant at Jobs, seemingly unaffected up until his own daughter has had enough.
8 out of 10 - a very good film. Smart. Intense. You may even shed a tear. I didn't though... OK, did.
