THE BIOPIC YOU MISSED: ‘STEVE JOBS’

There are few modern day figures that were as compelling as the late Apple founder, Steve Jobs. If the 2013 biopic of Steve Jobs starring Ashton Kutcher left you dissatisfied, check out Michael Fassbender’s interpretation of the role. Written by Aaron Sorkin, this is a good one to check out if you’re still missing The West Wing.
