a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
...is the best way to describe this movie,with MM and his usual perfection to his craft showing real life disgust of indulging in homosexual activities as a lifestyle. He is superb in this believable,powerful drama that somehow helped people get medical help. Watch.
A guy trying to bypass government regulation by creating a company/club to help himself and others around him with the power of free trade. Need I say more? I'm sure Rand Paul and the Tea Party Movement approves. Other reviews cover the phenomenal acting etc. 10/10 for anyone. 11/10 for libertarians.
Amazingly well played by Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. Loved every moment of it.
Matthew McConaughey is best known for staring in God-awful romantic comedies that no one likes. In "Dallas Buyers Club," he makes damn well sure that we know he's a serious actor, and he succeeds in doing so. In one of the most unforgettable and moving performances in recent film history, McConaughey leads this powerful film as real-life aids petite Ron Woodroof, a poor electrician who lives a crazy Texas cowboy lifestyle. After diagnosed with the deadly disease, he challenges the status-quo of the FDA, smuggling in life-saving drugs from around the world and forming his ppm sup[port group/medical organization. Perhaps what makes this performance so stunning isn't just the dramatic weight-loss required by the actor, but how his character isn't someone who you see in movies that much. A drunken electrician from Texas with Aids doesn't sell that often to studio executives, and it's refreshing to see a tale work so well with such an interesting lead character. Jared Leto is also terrific as a fellow Aids patient working with Woodroof. This film not only challenges corruption and examines the obstacles of Aids, but portrays a deeply moving story about a real-life person whose story deserves to be told.
