Dallas Buyers Club

"Dallas Buyers Club "

"As Reported by Dollyforme"

This is an amazing movie – filled with nudity, sex, and great acting. Another hottie in her forties stars in this flick, the stunning Jennifer Garner. She is a must see.

Matthew McConaughey is a revelation in this film, giving the absolute best performance of his career. As a whole this film is very entertaining, and the story being true just adds gravy to an otherwise delicious roast. Following an HIV suffering, homophobic cowboy named Ron Woodroof, (McConaughey) the film shows us the history of how those afflicted were treated, the merits of drug dealing to the sick, and the good deeds done by Woodroof in his life.

The film doesn't preach empathy or tolerance, but watching this you gain that from the perspective of those dying. Leto is of course amazing as Rayon, a drug addled pre-op transsexual who becomes Woodroof's business partner. What really strikes you is the fact that medicine was rushed through FDA trials that didn't cure, that no one knew the truth of the disease, and maintaining health proved to be difficult at that time. Woodroof is a very interesting, lively character, and McConaughey is just great to watch in this, a role where he is virtually unrecognisable. He wholeheartedly deserves his nomination and I only hope this is a start to another phase in an already flourishing career.

An incredibly moving picture. Matthew McConaughey gives the performance of his career, while Jared Leto and Jennifer Garner are wonderful supporting players. This story about a man infected with AIDS who defies corrupt FDA treatment to procur not-approved medicine that makes him and other AIDS patients actually get better is multi-layered and deeply emotional. Filmmaking does not get much better than this.

Alright, alright, alright..!!! Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto really did it! As an actor who never been talked about with their performance, what they achieve in this movie was a joyful experience since McConaughey definitely show a great improvement in his acting career while Leto stun me with his magnificent performance as a transgender and I really thought that he is a transgender if I never know him before.. The story itself is quite interesting, about breaking the law to help people.. Well, Ron is kinda modern day Robin Hood for me.

McConaughey lost 47 pounds (21 kg) for the role, going from 183 pounds (83 kg) to 136 pounds (62 kg). He reportedly stayed indoors in his Texas mansion for six months to become paler and ceased socializing and had to find new ways to entertain himself, which made him "smarter". When he reached as low as 143 lbs, his eyesight began to fail. He began to feel extremely weak to the point that he'd be sore from doing five push-ups and his legs would lock up after running 30 feet. Leto lost over 30 pounds (14 kg) for the role and confessed to having stopped eating to lose weight quicker; his lowest record weight was 114 pounds (52 kg)

Dallas Buyers Club received six nominations at the 86th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor for McConaughey, and Best Supporting Actor for Leto. Martin Pensa and Vallée were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Film Editing; Vallée was credited under the pseudonym "John Mac McMurphy". McConaughey and Leto won Academy Awards for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, respectively – the first film since Mystic River 10 years earlier to receive both awards and the fifth overall.

So – if you have not seen it – you’d better go see it right now. An amazing film.
