Critics' reviews

"A biopic that's perhaps too respectful of the tech icon's innovations still remains frequently engaging"

Justin Lowe: The Hollywood Reporter
"The casting of Ashton Kutcher turns out to be the sole risky element of 'Jobs', a smooth, reasonably engaging but not especially revealing early-years account of Steve Jobs' storied career"

Justin Chang: Variety
"'Jobs' is a one-man show that needed to go for broke and doesn't (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"The Great Man theory of history that’s recycled in this movie is inevitably unsatisfying, but never more so when the figure at the center remains as opaque as 'Jobs' does here"

Manohla Dargis: The New York Times
"The movie is constantly at war with attempts to provide an honest portrayal"

Eric Kohn: IndieWire
"There was a time when the slack storytelling, stock characterizations (...) could be put into perspective by saying it seemed like a TV biopic. But even TV movies are done with more verve than this these days"

Mark Olsen: Los Angeles Times
"One thing it doesn't do is offer a revealing look at the mercurial entrepreneur. The movie (...) settles on a blandly superficial treatment of a deeply complex man (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"
