Leto and McConaughey are fantastic in one incredible film

Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2020)

Although at times it can be difficult to watch, Dallas Buyers Club is by far an entertaining, inspiring, and brilliant journey of persiverience, most notably without shoving sentimental themes down our throats. Matthew McConaughey is fantastic as Ron Woodroof, and is certainly a great choice for the year's best actor choice. However, through there are many great actors involved in the film, Jared Leto absolutely steals the show as Rayon. His performance is not only stellar, but deeply emotional and personal, and his onscreen presence puts your eye on him in every scene- in the best of ways. The film starts off rough, and may be a little hard to dip your feet into, but once you get past it, the film is one battle after another and can easily win your heart with every frame of struggle it has to go through till the end. The direction is brilliant, as well as the writing, and though the cinematography may be only average, it's much appreciated feeling the truly realistic nature the film is going towards. In the end, Dallas Buyers Club is one hell of a hard ride, but a one well earned. It's complete with stellar performances and a wonderful attitude that never feels too corny, despite its harsh subjects.
My Rating: 9.75/10
