Speaking in Austin, Gibney described the documentary as "in my own ham-fisted way, my version of Citizen Kane [the Orson Welles film based on the life of another business tycoon, William Randolph Hearst]."

That's perhaps not surprising. Jobs presented different faces to different people, and could be immensely charming when he wanted to be, as this writer can attest. Cue was a trusted lieutenant. And he has a sliver of a point about the movie, in that the Foxconn suicides it covers are unfairly related to Jobs.
One thing Cue didn't specify: whether he had actually seen the documentary, or just read the reviews. Given that it has only screened once here at SXSW, and Cue has not been spotted here in Austin, it isn't clear how he could have seen it. Mashable has reached out to Cue and to Apple for clarification.
Meanwhile, we know at least one account of Jobs' life has Cue's approval: the forthcoming bookBecoming Steve Jobs, by journalists Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli.
