Less than I expected

Rating: 5/10 (24 October 2015)

I can't say whether the portrayal of Steve Jobs as a misanthrope is accurate or if the redeeming aspects of his personality were as few as the movie would have us believe. However, true or false, the protagonist of this tale does not inspire much empathy from the viewer no matter his genius. Even Beethoven, who was a true genius, and also something of a misanthrope, would not engage my interest were he portrayed in this manner. Yet, despite his temper, and poor housekeeping no biography or movie has ever concentrated so mercilessly on his faults as this movie did on those of Steve Jobs. Thus, despite good acting by the entire cast, this is not a movie I can recommend.
