Enjoyed this much more than last time, perhaps because I'm more familiar with - and a bigger fan - of Aaron Sorkin. Based on three pre-launch events taking place in 1984, 1988 and 1998, Sorkin even addresses the slightly artificial nature of the screenplay with a line about 'How come all these emotional pressures occur before a launch?' Michael Fassbender is the strange and unsympathetic leader, Kate Winslet is marketing manager / partner, Michael Stuhlbarg and Seth Rogan programmers and Jeff Daniels Apple's CEO. Katherine Waterson is the feckless mother of the little girl whose paternity is contested.
"It's not binary. You can be decent and gifted at the same time."
Has a great momentum, fuelled by direction, Daniel Pemberton's music and Elliot Graham's editing. Alwin Küchler is the DP.
