Film Review – Dallas Buyers Club

Judging by its exterior, “Dallas Buyers Club” could be considered a
traditional slice of “Oscar bait,” with star Matthew McConaughey
physically transforming himself to deliver a performance intended to act
as flypaper for awards season accolades. And the movie does contain a

showmanship. The actual film doesn’t invest in shallow theatrics,
submitting a fascinating tale of a death sentence refused, watching one
man build his own medical industry to save his life, disturbing the
slumber of the powers that be. Meaningful and explosively performed,
“Dallas Buyers Club” is an oddly inspirational picture that has a little
more on its mind than a late-in-the-film-year victory lap.
