Short Review - Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs is a character study of the genius man. And like Jobs himself, the movie is a complex yet heartfelt dramatization of three different stages of his life. All scenes were set backstage during different product launches divided in three parts. It's a film that doesn't rely heavily on actions, but rather on confrontations. It relies mostly on Aaron Sorkin's soaring screenplay, that man is a genius himself. Firing words from here and there and extending the tension between two persons, it's like seeing a real argument or a debate, where one loses and the other triumphs! Of course, most of the time it's Jobs who succeeds. 

Michael Fassbender's portrayal is honestly one of his best performances to date. He managed to show to everyone what is inside Jobs head, and it's a very complicated one. And although he's angry most of the time, he shows a great emotional side every time he confronts his daughter. One of the most emotional moments were towards the end of the film. Kate Winslet also made a good partner, she was very delicate and patient, and brought Joana Hoffman that multi-dimensional character it needed. She built it up, that until the end, audiences will feel for her. 

For a film that's too theatrical and relies heavily on its brilliant screenplay, it succeeds in a very dramatic fashion!
