In my opinion, it's a truly phenomenal film. With Aaron Sorkin's brilliant, snappy writing and Danny Boyle's exceptional ability to make such a dialogue-heavy script feel so cinematic, I just can't say enough good things about it. It's been compared to The Social Network (for fairly shallow reasons, honestly) and I don't think it falls too short of that. It doesn't follow a generic biopic template or anything. It just takes three key moments from Steve Jobs' career and focuses the plot around them. Each act is stylistically different from the last, but they all work together as you see the entire cast developing over the runtime. It highlights the dark parts of Jobs' personality but also gives him credit for his unique talents, resulting in an extremely complex characterization. I loved it.
