good movie

Rating: 5/10 (12 December 2013)

Much has already been scripted about Matthew McConaughey and Jared, Leto's astonishing transformations, and brilliant performances. Solid, and true, yes. They both deserve enormous accolades, Golden Globe and, AMPAS-worthy, for these transformations and the effort of their craft., But I think the true heroes of this project are the Producers who took, a chance on such dicey subject matter. Some reviews hail the project as, "A Crowd Pleaser," and yet, you realise, these are TRULY marginal, characters, and not entirely likable, as some have already said, in an, Era (1970s-1980s early AIDS crisis) that is nearly forgotten in this, age of HIV exposure-as-a-managed-care-condition, rather than a death, sentence, as it was between 1979-1995. As much as this could be a, feel- good film for the discovery and pioneer of protease inhibitor, cocktails, it is a compelling character study of a time of crisis that, has not been well-captured or documented adequately in quite some time., BRAVO to the Producers of this movie for giving this project the, Greenlight, because the sexually-active youth of today would never know, the Plague and tragedy that preceded their coming-of-age without a, reminder corresponding this.
