Review of Dallas Buyers Club (2013) by Franzhcritic — 09 Dec 2013

A tale of sadness, homophobia, drugs, and AIDS. Despite this hovering cloud of depression, 'Dallas Buyers Club' is an emotional drama, with captivating performances from McConaughey and Leto, both of whom I think will have a share of accolades to go along with their stand-out acting.

McConaughey plays spell-bindingly as the homophobic, drug-addled womanizer, nuanced by his disease, and transforms into a more subtle human being. Leto, although, is by far more superb, in terms of acting ability.

He portrays a more convincing woman than most women do themselves, something (pardon my sexism) I thought was impossible to achieve.
