Matthew McConaughey; Take a bow.

Rating: 8/10 (17 February 2014)

I can't understand why this film is flying so low, under the radar of plaudits. Yes i have heard praise being charitably thrown its way. Coins compared to riches that are pouring over others. It is a spectacular story; incredibly inspiring. I feel no need to divulge information about it as believe me it is best to go (with or without knowledge of the events) and just watch it, enjoy it, soak in what has become a rarity these days of a compelling story, and a riveting powerhouse performance. You maybe get 3 or 4 a year and this is one. A superb film that ironically isn't being weighed down by an unfulfillable bandwagon. I mean when Matthew McConaughey won the Golden Globe for best actor it was seen as a slight shock, when in my book if Di Caprio wasn't going to win it then the next best scenario, without a shadow of doubt, was indeed him. It really is a great performance and a magnificent film.
8.5/10
