Outstanding - truly Oscar material - both acting and story

Rating: 10/10 (14 December 2013)

This is an exceptional film in all respects. I was amazed to learn that the movie is indeed based on a true story, and fortunately there was not a significant degree of artistic license used for the film.
Matthew McConaughey is amazing in the lead role, and Jared Leto delivers an equally powerful performance in a supporting role. Both of these gentlemen absolutely should receive Oscar nods.
The overall style is artistic but not overly so. The movie has the independent and organic feel gained from location shoots, as opposed to a corporate-focus-group-baked studio.
A film that gets a 10 from me must be moving, entertaining, informative, and thought-provoking. Dallas Buyer's Club delivers on all counts. 10!
