Rent & Buy

What critics thought
Danny Boyle and Aaron Sorkin's formally audacious three-act structure drew widespread admiration, with Michael Fassbender's performance earning particular acclaim despite bearing little physical resemblance to his subject. The sharpest disagreement falls on Sorkin's script: some critics found its relentless, stylized dialogue an exhilarating form of theatrical invention, while others felt it suffocated the actors and traded the real Jobs for a slick, self-aggrandizing myth.
“a wildly creative fantasia...a brilliant, maddening, ingeniously designed and monstrously self-aggrandizing movie.”
Justin Chang·Variety
“the cast vanishes into their parts...buried under makeup and a distinctive Polish accent, Winslet's chameleonesque transformation is bested only by Fassbender, whose vivid expressions and constant movement turn him into a physical marvel.”
Eric Kohn·IndieWire
“despite the film constantly informing you of just how incredibly important everything all is, it's disappointingly difficult to truly care about what's taking place.”
Benjamin Lee·The Guardian
“In ways both large and small, Sorkin − as well as Michael Fassbender, the actor who plays Jobs − has failed to capture him in any meaningful sense.”
Joe Nocera·The New York Times
