Review of Dallas Buyers Club (2013) by Bikerjames — 30 Dec 2013
Matthew McConaughey is nearly unrecognizable as Ron Woodroof, a man who contracts AIDS during the beginnings of the crisis in the 1980s. He is straight, and homophobic, and when he first learns he has contracted the disease he sets off to Mexico to get medication that is not available in the U.
S. I think at first his intention was to make money selling the drugs in the U.S., but when he meets the gay people in the same predicament as he is he becomes compassionate and comes to the realization that gay people are the same as any other people.
Its a movie about tolerance, acceptance, and the fact that our FDA is more concerned with profit than helping people recover. McConaughey lost a lot of weight for the role and gives a great performance.
Jared Leto is also in top form as a transsexual who partners with Ron to sell the drugs to the gay community. Overall a very moving film with great performances.
