Brilliant

Rating: 9/10 (8 February 2014)

An amazing account of one man's struggle to get the medicine he needs to survive despite having full blown AIDS. DBC is an honest portrayal of how anyone who is "different" is hated and rejected in society. It also shows the desperation of so many infected men who are willing to pay to get medication because if they don't they will die. No one cares about these people. Especially the gov't officials who are making the decisions on what drugs can be approved and who can have access to them. Matthew McConaughey is as brilliant as ever. The big surprise to me was Jared Leto. I first saw him in Lord of War and thought he was great in that role. In Dallas Buyers Club I didn't even recognize him. He definitely deserves the best supporting actor for his role as Rayon. Dallas Buyers club should do well at the Academy awards this year. Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor would be well deserved.
