"Let me give y'all a little news flash. There ain't nothing' out there can kill f*ckin' Ron Woodroof in 30 days."

Rating: Null/10 (11 July 2014)

Dallas Buyers Club is an incredibly realistic, raw and gritty movie. It tells the story of Ron Woodroof, a man diagnosed with HIV who goes to incredible lengths to keep on living. The acting in the movie is amazing, Matthew McConaughey is perfect as the main character. He is amazingly diverse in the role, in some scenes, he portrays Ron as being a really tough guy, but he is able to change to an emotional scene in a heartbeat. Jared Leto blew me away as Rayon, a cross-dressing man with AIDS. At first he looks all happy and care-free, but as the story progresses we see just how affected he is by his disease. The rest of the cast are very good as well, all the doctors and government officials and Ron's friends. I just thought Jennifer Garner wasn't the best in her role, she was kind of so-so in the dramatic moments her character got, and her interactions with Ron felt a bit unnatural, she was good, but she just wasn't on par with the leading men. But it's McConaughey and Leto that deserve all the praise, which thankfully they got.
The movie is based on the real life story of Ron Woodroof. It's very interesting, there are no dull moments at all in the movie, it is an incredible drama, but there some comedic elements as well, specially during Ron's interactions with Rayon. The screenplay was amazing, the dialogue is incredibly interesting, it makes you care a lot about the characters. It has a lot to say on the FDA about how they take some time to approve or reject drugs, and how they don't allow certain drugs that actually work to be administrated in hospitals.
I thought the technical aspects of the movie, directing, editing, cinematography. Especially the editing, Jean Marc-Valleé and Martin Pensa did a great job, I really enjoyed the scenes where Ron is travelling and looking for drugs.
Dallas Buyers Club certainly deserved all of its Oscar nominations and wins, it has powerful performances and an emotional story, one of 2013's best movies. I give it a 9.5/10.
