May 28, 2014 Shocking performance by Jared Leto and Matt McConaughey in their distinguished roles as AIDS patients. They were clear 2014 Oscar winners as best leading and supporting actors. Based on Bill Minutaglio's 1992 original story…

If the fda, doctors, and scientists were corrupt and only concerned about money even back then, why trust them now?

Tough guy, but wanted to help others.

What Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto went through (physically) for this film is astounding. Plus: Trust the reviews. This may be McConaughey's best performance. It is an amazingly well done movie.

The first scene of this movie is two character having intercourse in an animal stall. I should have stopped watching then. It got worse. Sorry I did not see the warning online, but I picked this off the shelf because it was highly rated. I…

The film is a compelling drama that shows talented performers doing their best. The only thing that keeps it from being truly perfect or something close is the fact that the movie centers around real people yet real events and important…

A very good movie with great acting. Honest, rough, tender.

Phenomenal. Moving. Brilliant. Beautiful. These words don't even scratch the surface. This is the true story of Ron Woodroof who received a surprise HIV diagnosis in 1985 and what he decided to do with the rest of his life upon learning…

Good movie, bad subject matter...but I guess that can't be helped. Matthew M. was great as the guy who wouldn't take no for an answer.

One of the more honest depictions about those afflicted with AIDS and HIV. This movie ranks up there with Philadelphia.

This is what good film making is all about. Great acting and script.. take the film as it is, 'based' on a true story only.. there's plenty fiction to make it entertaining. I thoroughly support the Oscars awarded to McConaughey and Leto..…

An award winning film that I liked!! Both guys deserved their Academy Awards for this true life story. EXCELLENT, if you enjoy this movie you should also watch And The Band Played On. We've been living with AIDS so long, I think people…

Absolutely fabulous!! Jared Leto and Matt McConaughey performed amazing well throughout the entire movie. I haven't seen such a good movie for a very long time; it is a must see.

Very good movie, can see why it won an academy awards. The topic is one most people try to avoid or just plain don't care about. Sheds light & perspective on a touchy subject & really shows, in my opinion, the real truths to these…

I picked this up because it was nominated for two Golden Globe awards which is an indication of a good film. I didn't know the subject of the movie until it was into it. It was a surprisingly well acted story line, which was well worth…

Great story told by Canadian director Jean-Marc Vallee. I don't like McConaughey normally, but he did an amazing job in his performance. Goes to show what a little starvation and hunger can do for a performance. Perhaps more American…

I think most people understand what the movie is about by now by reading the numerous reviews. What is revealing is how the FDA, even back in the '80s, was under the spell of Big Pharma, and how the medical industry was, in turn,…

Tough subject, extremely well made movie. Definitely recommended. Acting is exceptional.

Good story and appealing cast. Worth watching to gain perspective on some difficult social issues: homophobia, addiction, the transgressions of Big Pharma. And the recent history of how people with the mysterious AIDs were treated as…

Surprisingly well done movie on a difficult subject.

So I had heard this was a good movie, but actually didn't know what it was about. I watched it in a public place and wow was that a mistake! Had to make sure no one was looking at the screen:). Anyway, despite being a bit slow, excellent…

Wow, what a great movie!! The Dallas Buyers Club may have saved countless lives. The founder, Ron Woodroof, is portrayed by Matthew McConaughey. He gives a brilliant performance as does the entire cast. This is the story of how AIDS was…
