Dallas Buyer's Club was the first movie for which I felt compelled to write a review, such is my passionate love for it. A jarringly honest and uncensored window into the struggle against bureaucracy for a legitimate cure for AIDS, It brought my stomach to my chest in its most sorrowful of moments and made me laugh at its lightest.
Considering that it is not an action movie, nor set in outer space, one may puzzle as to why it was nominated for 'Best Achievement in Editing' at the academy awards this year- that is, until they have seen the film. Both the pacing and mood set by the cutting style were equally incredible. It utilised brilliantly silence, muffled ringing and dull blurs of colour to create a dead, tired trance scene at the start of the movie, so infective that I felt almost sleepy. Using similarly formulated scenes to break up the movie gave the audience an awareness of time and effectively drove home the transformation that Ron underwent by allowing a viewer to subconsciously compare and weigh each 'section' of the movie. The thought put into the film's direction, particularly structure, is incredible.
Both Jared Leto and Matthew McConaughey achieved perfection in their roles, playing parts from malnourished drug-addicts to suave and charismatic businessmen.
These, among other masteries and small perfections were what made Dallas Buyer's Club such a joy to watch.
