Title: Dallas Buyers Club
Review – This is a really powerful film about the early days of the AIDS crisis and a reluctant hero who winds up fighting the pharmo industry profit system to find ways to keep people alive (initially himself). McConaughey is more impressive with each role he does and is barely recognizable here as a rodeo wild man who comes down with AIDS in a world in which AIDS was only for gay people. 24 hours later and I can’t shake this film. Brilliantly directed and paced; one of the most potent movies I’ve seen in awhile. The humor makes the agony bearable.
