STEVE JOBS (2015)

October 27, 2015 by Jacob Nelson in 2015, 7, BIOGRAPHY, DRAMA, S, Oscars 2016
"Antiseptic and methodological until it grows into emotion naturally with the characters. Somehow, that felt engaging of my mind but rebuffing to my emotions. A good and strong film, accomplishing its goals thoroughly, but I feel that my qualms might be with the aims and structure."
