Directed by Jean-Marc Vallée
Cast : Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, Jared Leto
Why should any one watch Dallas Buyers Club. I give you two reasons :
1) Mathew McConauhey
2)Jared Leto.
For me ,till now, Matthew McConaughey has hardly given us reason to think of him as someone tipped to win an acting Oscar . Franky , I was infuriated when Leonardo DiCaprio did not win an Oscar for his performance in The Wolf of Wall Street, I mean what more can a man do!!But when I saw Dallas Buyers Club I was blown away.
Virtually unrecognizable in the film due to his 45 pound weight loss for the part , McConaughey literally slides into the skin of Ron Woodroof, a rude, narcotic and homophobic Texas cowboy in the mid 1980s, who reacts with typical sheer disgust when he's diagnosed as HIV positive. After doctors give him only 30 days to live, an angry Woodroof becomes determined to prolong his life by any means necessary. Based on true events, the film sees Woodroof set up a business selling these black-market drugs and vitamins to the sick, with the help of transgender drug addict Rayon played excellently by Jared Leto.
The film's best moments are the ones between Woodroof and Rayon, who go from antagonistic business partners to a pair of considerate co-workers committed to a noble cause. Woodroof's own transformation - from a self-absorbed hateful redneck to a determined man of the hope - is the heart of this film, and it's nicely un-sentimental. He sets up the 'Dallas Buyers Club' motivated strictly by profit, but subsequently transforms the enterprise into a sort of symbol against an apathetic medical system and a possibly corrupt pharmaceutical industry.
Jennifer Garner is well cast as a sympathetic doctor who risks her career to stand by Woodroof in his selfless mission. But the film belongs to McConaughey and Leto . Not particularly likable at the start of the film, he tackles the part with such fearless honesty that you're rooting for him as the cracks in his tough exterior begin to show.
Directed without much fuss by Jean-Marc Valle, this is a poignant yet inspiring film that unfolds like your standard biopic. Yet it's riveting each time McConaughey and Leto is on screen. Watch it for the powerful and magnificent performances and a heart warming story.
Rating: 4 /5
