Dallas Buyers Club | Ratings & Reviews

"Director Jean-Marc Valle doesn’t shy away from the visceral nature of the victims’ lifestyles or the disease, showing via woozy handheld photography their sex and drug lifestyle and declining health. Given the lack of over-sentimentality, perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that it’s not the most emotionally engaging film. But Dallas Buyers Club is worth seeing for the impressive performances alone."

"McConaughey and Leto give terrific performances in this riveting and surprisingly relatable true story."

VarietyVariety

"If not wholly convincing as an 'issues' movie, this memoir is a triumph as an actors' showcase; with McConaughey and Leto giving the performances of their careers."

Total FilmTotal Film

"Fits our Breaking Bad moment perfectly, offering a difficult hero whose personal code takes on an intriguing coherence."

Time OutTime Out

"An affecting if conventional real-life story of medical activism... McConaughey brings a jolt of unpredictable energy."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"McConaughey delivers a twitchy, hostile performance on par with anything he's done since he escaped the rom com cul-de-sac."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"It's a formulaic story that takes full advantage of these broad, familiar formulas to win viewers, but finds enough unique detail to retain its own identity."

The DissolveThe Dissolve

"Entertaining account of a rodeo redneck who becomes an unlikely angel in the AIDS struggle."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"McConaughey is currently the most exciting acting talent at work in movies."
