Both McConaughey and Leto give good performances and there are some really hauting scenes here, but I'm torn because of the tone the film takes toward the FDA. According to this, the FDA are murderers and AZT might as well have been cyanide. As a biologist, I will tell you that AZT was one of the first drugs that was effective at treating HIV and many people lived longer or survived because of it. Yes there may have been alternatives, but demonizing things isn't a good way to prove a point.

Went into this one entirely cold, and I must say I was rather impressed. The genuinely excellent performances from McConaughy and Leto compensate hugely for a slight lack of dramatic pull, and as a whole this is a thought-provoking and quite affecting piece that somehow remains entertaining throughout. Well worth seeing.

From beginning to end, it plays out exactly how you'd expect. A message movie that goes through the same motions and plays at the same notes you've seen/heard a million times before. It's still a well-executed melodrama with a strong lead performance from McConaughey. Jared Leto was good at playing a really tired, Oscar-bait character. It's essentially a well-done Lifetime movie.

Dallas Buyers Club is a great piece of filmmaking. It has great performances from Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto, a consistently inspirational story, a damning message against the FDA, and enough humor to keep the tone somewhat light even though the characters' situations are often very grave. It needed more depth to the supporting characters, but all in all it's a film that's well worth seeing. I recommend giving Dallas Buyers Club a watch.

The first 40 minutes or so are the best filmmaking I've seen all year. However, after a certain plot-point, the film turns into Erin Brockovich and, whilst not bad, per se, loses a lot of its momentum. Despite this, McConaughey is incredible and worth watching for alone.

A bit of a one way street in it's point of view (FDA and the industry are all just big bad wolves), but other than that it is a well written and acted flick. McConaughey once again proves he is capable of great things, and Leto proves he should finally take that 30 second ride back from Mars.

Is Matthew Mcconaughey one of the most talented actors working today? Yep, he sure is. I may not have realized that ten years ago, but now it's simply the truth. He's absolutely superb here. His character is complex, being both unpleasant and sympathetic. And his physical transformation rivals the best ever. But it's not just him that makes this movie great. Let's not forget Letto, whose performance is equally daring. And the story is gripping and the message is important. Great movie.

How this won anything is beyond me. It's an after school special with cursing and drugs teaching people that gays are the same as us and AIDS is bad. It's 2014 this movie should have been made when it was set. Every scene is just a direct pushing of the plot, there's no real fleshing out of characters. Closer to a pamphlet than a book. The acting was marginal by leto, he was given an oscar for wearing a dress.

Never thought I'd say this, but McConaughey should win an Oscar. Just like Sean Penn before him, he's proven that he's more than a stoner dude in movies and that he can actually act. His acceptance speech should go like this, "Alright, alright, alright. That's what I love about these golden statues. I keep getting older and they stay the same. Yes they do... yes they do"

Interesting character study of a homophobic cowboy turned into a man who's forced to be sensitive and careful about not only his situation but also people in the same condition. The tone shifts maybe too much -- and the film occasionally drags from time to time --, but McConaughey manages to keep every situation and dialogue working by his brilliant performance -- he fills Dallas Buyers Club with the amusements of a crowd-pleaser and the dark, unsettling aspects of a real-life drama.

Great performances and a really interesting look into the early AIDS crisis. At times it's a bit simplistic in its view of "big pharma" and the evil doctor who serves as its mouthpiece in the film. McConaughey puts on a show again. He and Leto have a dynamic that's hard to describe and is totally fresh. Starts to lose steam as it crosses the finish line, but it's a solid film nonetheless.

It's been a pleasure watching the rehabilitation of Matthew McConaughey over the past two years, and this is maybe his best performance yet. It's a raw, committed and charismatic performance that, coupled with Leto's similarly impressive turn, make this well worth watching. The film struggles a bit in the middle, however, when it becomes too caught up in the practical details of Woodruff's operation while accelerating and resolving his positive moral development a little too quickly and neatly.

A stellar performance by a skinny to the bone McConaughey, and a similarly impressive supporting turn by Leto, is at the heart of this man-against-system story that beautifully balances heavy AIDS drama with light humour. The message could have been more balanced, I guess, but the gritty feel and images and the seamless direction by Valleé makes it ring more true and more hard-hitting than Milk and Erin Brockovich.

Leto and McConaughey both prove themselves quite capable of carrying it. Of course it checks every box on the Oscar bait list (period piece with mustaches! Actors changing their weight! Controversial subject safely locked in the past! Simplification of real events!) and screams its important subject from the rooftops, but it carries itself with enough goddamn and sharp direction to work without veering into sentimental backslapping. Now go watch "How To Survive A Plague".

McConaughey is fantastic, and carries this snapshot story of the AIDS crisis from beginning to end. Although it does slow near the end, I must say that his performance had me hooked from the start. Great pacing and direction for a story that could have become buried under its somber subject matter.

An absolutely incredible performance from Matthew McConaughey elevates this otherwise decent film. The story is pretty straightforward and has some good points to make about bureaucracy, but it doesn't take any risks beyond that. A film like this is just begging for a greater emotional power or profound societal comment. It never finds that extra level and this bars it from greatness. It's well worth the watch for the performances alone and the film is very competent, so I'd recommend it.

It falls into the biopic trap of making the protagonists a bit too saintly (in the second half) and portraying any opposition as superficially selfish/evil, but those complaints are easy to overlook when McConaughey and Leto just nail every scene they're in. Doesn't have too many surprises past the halfway point, but it's solid drama-filmmaking all the way.

Matthew McConaughey looked almost emaciated in this role, but it made him a convincing character for the story. I was very surprised by the content of this movie, which makes the FDA and medical establishment seem mired in slow bureaucracy when the AIDS epidemic began to widen. Jared Leto was surprisingly good as his cross dressing partner. There were a few surprises and intense moments while showing the sometimes ugly truth of what a man will do when he is desperate to survive.

Oscars for both McConaughhey and Leto. They outshine the competition by a long shot,no matter how sad the slaves or how messed up the stockbrokers were.These two nailed it and that is actually quite rare, to REALLY nail a role. The acting chops aside this is a remarkable film about a pretty dark time in history when HIV/AIDS was still a very scary lethal disease. Partly because of the pioneer Ron Woodroof a lot of awareness was raised and he left his mark, helping himself and others. Good film.

Engaging view of the emergence of the AIDS virus sold to a great degree by McConaughey's no-holds-barred portrait of a by turns reprehensible and ultimately quite heroic character; his physical and psychological transformation is quite extraordinary, without overt show-boating. By taking an admirably dispassionate, unsentimental perspective of its tale, the screenplay occasionally struggles to be cinematic, relying on too many facts and figures rather than emotions to tell the story.

Honest question. Seriously, I don't know the answer. When McConaughey was being 10/10 homophobic early in the movie, were we supposed to find his behaviour funny? Or relatable? Or were we supposed to feel culturally superior? Was the movie being detached in those moments, showing us something ugly in a slightly ironic way? To be perfectly honest I got a slight vibe like we were supposed to find him funny or charming in those scenes. But I don't know. I'm willing to be wrong about that.

This film leaves me with a feeling that something was missing. It was a bit too straight forward. And I never got truly invested in the characters. But I guess it can be hard to please, had the story gone for more sentimental moments, I would probably have accused it of being Oscar bait. Despite the unfulfilled potential, the performances are impressive.

Two terrific performances by McConaughey and Leto elevate the film significantly but certainly could have been used better. Where the first half contained very dark tones of a character study, the second half succumbed to sentimental, political Oscar bait with an unfortunately downplayed character arc for Woodroof. With a better screenplay that wasn't afraid to explore the grittiness that a film about AIDS rightfully allows this really could have been something special.

I honest to god thought Jennifer Garner was Julia Roberts with botched botox the entire film. DBC features the latest gay/AIDS martyr after Milk & whoever Philadelphia was about, Ron Woodroof. He as a person is a shining example of what's fucked about Dallas & the 80's at the same time. He straightens out (for survivals sake) his views on a few key issues to some extent..well, long enough to point out apparent FDA corruption & let Jared Leto wet the panties of the worlds trans-gender community.

Struck a truly impressive tone for me: a beautiful, melancholy balance between sentiment and amusement, light and dark. It's not an easy plank to walk, but Dallas Buyers Club manages it with a confidence rarely seen; the story moves at a meticulously-judged clip, never dwelling unnecessarily but always keeping its characters completely three-dimensional. And as for Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto's performances, well, they deserve all the plaudits they've been subject to and many more besides

Worth it for the first third of the movie alone, unfortunately it gets worse from there. The opening scenes of McConaughey dealing with his newfound disease are some of the best he's ever had a part in. After meeting Leto and starting up the Buyers Club the movie goes on too long and becomes a kind of upbeat fight against the man movie while rarely dealing with the reality of AIDs. Cool story, just too long and not real enough, also Leto isn't very good.

Dallas Buyer's Club is a good movie. It sports magnificent performances by McConaughey and Leto who bring life to interesting characters. Despite this, the script and direction are nothing special, while the rest of the cast, including Gardner, are pretty awful. The first half is an exemplar for modern film-making but it quickly turns into a cheap Oscar grab. This is a good movie, with some great performances, that just never could have reached its full potential.

I don't need my films to be factually or historically accurate but when a film makes grossly inaccurate scientific or science-related claims and tries to present them as facts and puts them front and center just so its main characters could be the heroes who make a stand against the big bad government, it's a totally different matter. It's wholly irresponsible. Just thinking about this film infuriates me. A score of 20 for the decent acting.

Working-class hustler Ron Woodruff (Matthew McConaughey) is diagnosed with AIDS, and when AZT fails him, he sets up a "club" to import and distribute more effective medicines, in the process running afoul of the FDA. True man-against-the-system story, quite well directed by Jean-Marc Valleé, undermined by an unremarkable script and a lead performance that owes more to radical weight loss than anything else. Jared Leto, as a transvestite hooker, is more effective (if baity). Slack period detail.

McConaughey plays his role well, and definitely plays it up, but he was always entertaining. The first half of the film is the strongest, because we get to see Ron Woodroof wrestle with his new affliction and lifestyle, but towards the end it becomes a pretty straightforward and sentimental message film, but the message is good so it's hard to dock it too much. It reminded me of a more low-key and gritty Milk (2008). Extra points for the usage of T. Rex's song "Life is Strange".

I describe it as a queer 'Schindler's List,' as they are oddly similar. Excellent film, well acted, and has a refreshing feeling of genuineness for a 'based on a true story'. Seemed to be plenty of attention to detail and great casting, though, the leads were probably much more handsome or beautiful than their counterparts. As foreign a lifestyle to me as 'Wolf of wall street' but by far an easier and even pleasant world to connect to for a few hours.

SO worth the wait! McConaughey completely won me over this year, first with "MUD" and now with this. Let's take away the physical tole that making this movie took on the man (having to lose 50 pounds on his frame) -- the performance is so damn good, and is actually MATCHED by Jared Leto's portrayal of the fictitious Rayon. Add on top of that the superb direction (Jean-Marc Vallee needs more work, immediately), screenplay, and the remarkably-empowering story of survival. This is cinematic gold.

Good film but McConaughey certainly didn't deserve an Oscar. He plays the same damn character in every movie - a likable male chauvinist with a Southern drawl... Is he even acting or just playing himself over and over? I guess he gets the statuette for losing 50 lbs but then shouldn't Christian Bale have gotten one for the Machinist? I guess AIDs is more politically correct than dementia...

This month has been the McConaughey appreciation month for me, he really redefined himself as a great actor. Leto was impressive too. Generally real stories lost momentum pretty quickly, but Woodroof and Raymon seemed to be genuinely interesting characters. The FDA story is unfortunately as alarming as it was those days, there is something wrong with the whole drug industry. The line that summarises the movie "The doctor said I have chlamydia, but I had crabs. What do they know?"

Wish I could have met Ron Woodruff-- there could not possibly be anybody quite like that personality. But of course if the system creates an environment where you have to rise up or die, who knows what forms of subterfuge might just unfold . . .

Who said that you can't buy some extra days of one's life. Movies like these teach us to never give up the will to live. Don't forget it's our life, so lets fight for it.

Intelligent and affecting, despite being up-in-arms, slightly sentimental and fairly Hollywood in its organization of the story. Kind of like "Philadelphia" in those respects, but probably a bit better (and less sentimental). McConaughey's performance is very strong. Earns my recommendation.

wow.. mcconaughey proves that he is at least a 'bale class actor'. you should see him in killer joe too. also not much to say about jared leto :) we have a beyond the line flick here with great direction and pace. maybe script lacks a little intensity, but anyway this movie is moving.

Bravura performances can be as good as wholly spectacular films. Thoroughly enjoyed McConaughey in one of the most physically transformative roles since Cast Away or The Machinist.

both leto and mcconaughey look so incredibly fucked up, it's insane. big respect for their transformation. still, the plot never quite gripped me, and the performances, although top notch, couldn't reel me in either. it stays too superficial on the impact and effects of the virus itself to be an actual aids drama, yet the heavy topic hinders it to become anything besides that.

A good biopic about Ron Woodroof, a man diagnosed with HIV. We follow his dramatic change from a homophobic, drug addicted rodeo to a man with a true purpose in life; To stay a live and help other people in the same situation. Although a little slow at times, it's the unique relationship between McConaughey and Leto that sticks with you, thanks to the sacrificing, powerful performances.

And thanks to the power of cinema, yet another piece of shit gets hailed as a hero. There's a decent story in here somewhere but it' all been Hollywoodized beyond recognition. Jennifer Garner doesn't have a purpose, nevermind a character, and is there only for you to have a pretty lady to oggle. The film forgets to tell you that Woodrow knew about his HIV before the official diagnosis and probably gifted it to several other people, but those whores must have had it coming, right?

A powerfully-acted and emotionally resonant story that has just enough warmth and humanity mixed in its depression soup to avoid being a Schindler's List-esque homework watch. (Though I probably won't rush to rewatch any time soon.) McConaughey is great, again. I want to say the FDA bad guys seemed a little one-note, but hell, I was a baby in 1986 - maybe this depiction is dead accurate.

Seems like I should've seen this thing on ABC on a Sunday night circa 1992. No real risks were taken by anybody, including McConaughey (whose performance here consists basically of losing a bunch of weight and then saying "okay! that'll do it!") or Leto (who minces around in an offensively underwritten supporting role). Very lockstep, very rudimentary, and very boring--plus all those goddamn leaps ahead in time were annoying.

Stunning, rich story of a dying man's fight for his right to the medicine of his choice. Well crafted, there are a few clunky directions and overt dialogue but McConaughey gives one of his best performances yet. succeeds in tackling the larger subjects of the pharmaceutical industry and homophobia without detracting from Ron's really story.

I appreciate the arc of the central character from a self-absorbed user of others to a selfless giver to others. This is ultimately a story about what it means to be human, and Woodroof has to see the end of his life fast approaching before he can change. Leto's performance is my favorite of the two leading men, mostly for its toned-down fragility, which plays nice in contrast to Ron's in-your-face attitude. All that said, the film is strictly by the numbers in its narrative conventionality.

Dallas Buyers Club is first a movie about a guy who finds he has a month to live, and about how he spends the time he has left, and about why, and it will grab your heart and squeeze just about as ungently as it can.

Mostly watchable for it's top performances. I was especially surprised to see Jared Leto back on screen - happily surprised too, 'cause he's doing a tremendous job. I hope he wins the oscar (I've still to see Fassbender in 12 Years a Slave, but I doubt he can beat him). Story wise it is lacking a lot, if you ask me. His 30 days to live vanished strangely with no comment at all, switching quickly to focus on his club instead.

Dallas Buyers Club is a venerable punch of heavy drama and manly transformation. Vallée really sells the clusterfuck of depression and makes it consistently effective and thoughtful; add in McConaughey and Leto, who both deliver just frighteningly perfect performances, and you have a classic that people will talk about for some time to come.

Superb acting. Losing weight, mid-southern charm. The movement style of a rodeo cowboy. McConaughey brings his A game for this movie. And about movie its based on a true , enlightning story. And it executes very well. Damn great. Its a solid proof about the power of cinema and the power of the art. Im impressed. There were some dragged parts ı mean pacing and context aint good as acting and story. but mostly excellently executed.
