This film cuts off a huge portion of the Steve Jobs life story but it does a good, if heavy handed, job at depicting what it sets out to do; namely, show how self assured Steve Jobs was about his beliefs and show how clueless he was about human relationships. That's a tough circle to square. For me, the most fascinating part was the section where he describes his earliest time on the planet where, as an infant, he was rejected by two sets of parents and given to a third set whose mother refused to love him until certain he would be hers. It perhaps explains a lot about his difficult personality. Still, he was something of a clueless genius. Though I tired of the through story about his daughter I cannot deny that I remained interested throughout. An interesting little fact near the end: he follows his daughter from Davies Hall to the rooftop parking lot for a meaningful interchange of dialogue. I must tell you however, that did not happen. There is no rooftop parking lot above San Francisco's Davies Hall. Look for the creative license and enjoy it.
