Film Review: Dallas Buyers Club (15) (U.S.A. 2013) (Director: Jean-Marc Vallee),  The Cameo Cinema Screen One, Edinburgh, Sunday 16.02.2014, 15:30

This is the film where Matthew McConaughey plays a real-life homophobic-redneck hustler & rodeo rider called Ron Woodroof, who contracts H.I.V. due to his hedonistic lifestyle. He lands up running a 'club' for people needing treatment, resulting in his traveling overseas to get more tolerable medications than what were being used in the U.S.A. at the time. This is a way of him getting medication for himself, making some money. This also results in his spending time with people he would have actively avoided before then and forces him to reconsider some of his previous held beliefs and outlook.

This is a well performed film, particularly by the two leads, Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. Sadly I have to report I feel it was poorly edited, which made elements of what was happening in regard to the medication purchasing hard to follow at times. 

As with 'Her', again I feel that this was an interesting film, though it did not leave me pondering elements of it afterwards. Worth a watch, though I don't feel this to be a great film. 

Rating: 07/10.
