Oscar worthy performance

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2014)

I went into this movie blind not knowing what to expect, but it blew me away. Mathew McConaughey's performance was reminiscent of De Niro's Raging Bull performance. Mathew McConaughey lost so much weight, making himself look so awful, you really believed he had aids. Oscar worthy performance if you ask me. This movie also had the time period down. Felt like I was really back there in that time period. You could truly feel the love/hate/friendship/relationship between Jared Leto's character and Mathew McConaughey's character. You loved and hated them both at times, but you knew they were designed to help each other. Jennifer Garner's performance was heartfelt as well.
