A brilliant film that spreads awareness about HIV AIDS.

Rating: 9/10 (4 March 2014)

Dallas Buyers Club is a biopic about electrician cum rodeo cowboy, Ron Woodroof(Matthew McConaughey). Woodroof's way of life is carefree & detrimental to his well being. After Ron Woodroof is diagnosed with HIV by Dr. Sevard(Dennis O'Hare) & Eve(Jennifer Garner), he is devastated & shocked. The doctors give him 30 days to live, during which he is advised to get his affairs in order. Instead, Woodroof searches desperately to find alternate non-FDA approved drugs to treat himself & his fellow victims from this life threatening disease. With the help of a trans-gender named Rayon(Jared Leto), Ron Woodroof starts the Dallas Buyers Club to help all AIDS patients in America.
This movie is a masterpiece driven by its power packed, bold & uninhibited performances. I loved the fact that it is based on a true story. Ron Woodroof's tale is truly inspirational. This film shatters many false & unfair myths about HIV AIDS. The best part about Dallas Buyers Club is that it can switch between comedic & emotional moments, effortlessly! What is even better than the film are its performances. Matthew McConaughey has given the performance of a lifetime as Ron Woodroof. He truly deserves the Oscar for Best Actor(even though I was rooting for Leonardo DiCaprio). McConaughey completely transforms himself by shedding lots of weight, in order to accurately portray an AIDS patient. Jennifer Garner is impressive as Eve. However, the standout performer is Jared Leto as Rayon. Leto who also deserves his Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, effortlessly transforms himself into a trans-gender & is totally believable as the adorable Rayon. Dennis O'Hare is great as Dr. Sevard. Steve Zahn is brilliant as Woodroof's cop buddy, Tucker. Michael O'Neill is menacingly spectacular as FDA agent, Richard Barkley. The supporting characters are effective as well. The bottom line is, Dallas Buyers Club is a must watch. Do not miss it!
