Excellent Job

Rating: 9/10 (8 October 2015)

Steve Jobs. I was lowkey anticipating this film for a while ever since I learned that Aaron Sorkin was writing the script. Then when Michael Fassbender was announced as the lead, it really caught my attention. I just came out from seeing the movie, and I honestly thought the film was excellent. It was in my mind, a passionately made film that is a non-stop conversation. Very tense at times, it never leaves your attention. The performances, as well as the direction by Danny Boyle blended together almost perfectly with the story they were trying to tell. It almost works and feels like a short film. You get in late and get out early. You are immediately put into the successful Steve Job's world while he balances business differences and relationships, especially with his daughter. It doesn't slow down, and when it's finished, you want more. It is not a flawless film, but for what it wanted to be, it hit the nail right on the head. I haven't seen any of the other Steve Jobs films, not even the one with Kutcher. But even with that being so, I can say this was a great look into his life and Apple's success. A high recommend.
