Yeah this movie is pretty top tier. What really set this movie apart from others like it, is how it doesn’t end at the climax of the story, rather it ends when it has all fallen apart followed by some closure the movie is nice of enough to give you at the end. I understand the movie at the beginning said it was fictionalized, but to what degree? The movie felt very real, the cinematography alone gave it this docu/watching from the sidelines kinda feel that helped make the moments feel relatable. The actors really helped carry this movie too. Not only did I enjoy and appreciate them flexing their acting muscles, but I actually believed the characters I was watching. I was sympathizing with the things they were going through while not knowing even half the pressure of making the worlds best phone because of you have to. Movies like this reignite the appreciation I have for the “grunts” doing most of the work accomplishing these feats. Steve Job presented the iPhone, but a team made it. You seek the cool VFX in one movie, but a team made it. I love movies that shine a light on how people who struggle like us make the things we enjoy and still struggle doing it. That sort of offering in perspective is always a cool thing to encounter in movies. From beginning to end I was invested. They legit seemed like the people who made orange juice out of lemons. Love the directing, acting, pacing, everything. 9/10 EASY
