Great film!

Rating: 9/10 (24 November 2013)

A very well made biopic of sorts about Ron Woodroof. The story features strong personalities, which make for great characters, who were very well developed. The story neatly encompassed the life of Woodroof along with the creation and evolution of the Dallas Buyers Club; touching on the legal complications as well as the social stigma included with such an organization.
Cinematically, the camera work was done well, and I liked the way it was edited. I thought the music worked well, as in it wasn't very noticeable – therefore unable to illicit an emotional reaction. I thought the direction was solid, and in turn, prompted stunning performances by both McConaughey and Leto. If McConaughey isn't nominated for an Oscar for his performance here, I will be surprised. Overall a nicely executed and historically significant drama.
