Dallas Buyers Club (2013)


In 1985 Dallas, electrician and hustler Ron Woodroof works around the system to help AIDS patients get the medication they need after he is diagnosed with the disease.

Less interested in the actual historic story and its legal and humanitarian issues this drama focuses on its two leading characters; McConaughey and Leto deliver excellent performances and make it work, helped by great cinematography and good period detail.

Maltin***1/2: "Unique true-life story...McConaughey is perfect in the leading role, matched by Leto as a transgendered hospital patient who becomes his helper..."
