Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

...is the best way to describe this movie,with MM and his usual perfection to his craft showing real life disgust of indulging in homosexual activities as a lifestyle. He is superb in this believable,powerful drama that somehow helped people get medical help. Watch.

Ron Woodroof masks the mundanity and pain of his blue collar with Texan swagger. His cavalier overindulgence in cards, rodeo, and sex land him in a hospital bed, subdued and branded by incurable disease and ripe for emotional quarantine. Dallas Buyers Club ignites the inner screams and frayed nerves of devastating change with a flashbang. Jolted to life's fragility, Mr. Woodroof concedes former prejudice for suave business and sincere friendship with Rayon, who hums with charm to the pain of slow erosion. Bonded in pain, Ron and Rayon meld wit and recklessness to form a profitable beehive and sanctuary for an aching community. Ron discovers a calm authority in his unique business brand, enjoying the fireworks of energetic release through the backlash of bureaucracy, while Rayon links social and personal vibrancy to the cause. Both partners seesaw over physical and institutional barriers to evoke the maturity and humility, masculine and feminine qualities in each other that evolve into a full self love that seeps to their suffering kin.Dallas Buyers Club harmonically weaves desperation and suffering together in friendship, blooming into a fine portrayal of complete self expression.

A guy trying to bypass government regulation by creating a company/club to help himself and others around him with the power of free trade. Need I say more? I'm sure Rand Paul and the Tea Party Movement approves. Other reviews cover the phenomenal acting etc. 10/10 for anyone. 11/10 for libertarians.

Matthew McConaughey gives a no-holds-barred, Oscar-winning performance as real-life medical rights pioneer Ron Woodroof, a profane, prejudiced Texas electrician/rodeo aficionado/crooked gambler, who contracted the HIV/AIDS virus in the mid-'80s (through either unprotected sex with an HIV-positive female or through drug use) and was given 30 days to live. Belligerent in his quest to keep himself alive--and finding no relief from the "wonder drug" AZT--Woodroof began obtaining powerful drugs from Mexico, Japan and other countries. Unapproved in the U.S. by the FDA, these 'illegal' medications proved to keep Woodroof alive, and also the many HIV-infected people who lined up outside his motel room to purchase them (much to the chagrin of the local medical professionals). McConaughey, painfully gaunt and thin, performs without a shred of vanity; his startling work here shows an actor of great courage and depth. As his drug-addicted transvestite sidekick, Jared Leto (also a deserved Oscar winner) is McConaughey's equal; their slowly developing admiration for each other is convincingly nonchalant, spare and lovely to watch. Jennifer Garner gives her finest performance to date as their doctor, who begins to realize her AZT studies are doing more harm than good, and Denis O'Hare is excellent as Garner's colleague-cum-adversary. A well-realized and incredible drama for adults, hampered now and then by prosy dialogue but almost always kept on-track by the performances, as well as by Jean-Marc Vallée's tight direction. *** from ****
