Dallas Buyers Club

Dallas Buyers Club stars Matthew McConaughey as Ron Woodruff, an electrician and Rodeo cowboy who is told he has HIV and 30 Days to live. He then sets about a battle with the authorities to get the drugs that he and fellow sufferers require to keep them alive.

This film is up for several Oscars, including Best Actor for McConaughey and Best Supporting Actor for Jerard Leto. It is a superb performance by both, Leto especially as transvestite Rayon, I would be extremely surprised if he doesn't win.

The screenplay is well written, the light hearted joke moments alongside its serious subject matter make this a very accessible film, especially the supermarket scene.

Whilst I don't think this will be a serious contender for the best film Oscar, this is definitely a must see film 9/10
