The early reviews for Steve Jobs are coming in from the Telluride film festival, and people are pretty much losing their minds over Michael Fassbender's performance as Steve Jobs - Variety says he's shot to the "top of this year's best actor Oscar race."

But another "critic," possibly the most qualified critic of all, also really loved the movie, Apple co-founder and real-life Jobs friend and collaborator Steve Wozniak.

Woz, who is played by Seth Rogen in the film, spoke to Deadline about seeing an early edit of the Danny Boyle-directed movie. 

“I saw a rough cut and I felt like I was actually watching Steve Jobs and the others (including Rogen’s dead-on portrayal of Wozniak), not actors playing them, I give full credit to Danny Boyle and Aaron Sorkin for getting it so right," Wozniak told the website. 

Wozniak, who is sort of the go-to guy to ask for an opinion on these things, famously trashed the movie Jobs, starring Ashton Kutcher, for being inaccurate. 

As for the opening scene of the Kutcher movie, he told Gizmodo back in 2013 that it simply "never happened."

"Not close...we never had such interaction and roles...I'm not even sure what it's getting at...personalities are very wrong although mine is closer...," he told the site at the time. 

If you weren't already, it might be time to get excited about this movie.
