Dallas Buyers Club

I was hooked from the start. Matthew McConaughy gives a staggeringly good performance whilst Jared Leto steals the show as Rayon, the unlikely business partner that Ron ends up working with.

It is an extremely bitter-sweet true story, and describes the despair, hope and uncertainty surrounding mid-80s AIDS patients. What is even more impressive is the way McConaughey shows the journey that Ron Woodroof takes, from abusive, blinkered rodeo redneck to tolerant, hard-nosed businessman with more than an eye for the medical laws of his country.
