Review of Dallas Buyers Club (2013) by Jacob — 12 May 2015

Dallas Buyers Club uses the human drama of Ron Woodroof to explore moral and ethical dilemmas. How do we deal with death? The morals between one’s own well being and the government coporations. These questions are explored through Woodroofs dilemma.

Through Ron’s arc from average cowboy porking to active treater to a fighter against the system it is all nicely conveyed. Matthew McConaughey gives a great performance immersing himself in the character and Jared Leto is unrecognizable.

While I am lacking familiarity with the events the film was based off of on its own it’s a well made film that deserves a watch.
