Legendary Performance

Rating: 9/10 (7 June 2014)

First thing comes to mind about this film is the performance of Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. Of course it's Oscar material that deals with AIDS, homosexuality and transgenderism of 80's. But those are not the reason behind the success of this film. McConaughey and Leto's legendary performances earned them big success in 2013's film awards. McConaughey in fact redefined himself.
The movie was inspired by true events. It shows the survival of real life AIDS patient Ron Woodroof. McConaughey portrayed Woodroof's character in the best way possible. Leto also played excellently the role of a HIV positive trans-woman Rayon. Beside them other artists did very well at their role.
The settings, score, script, makeup & hairstyle everything were perfect for a very good movie. Everyone involved in this film should be proud of their work.
Lastly, Things may have improved since 80's in USA, but third world countries can learn one or two things about AIDS from this film, that HIV is not the end. "Dare to Live."
