In mid-1980s Texas, electrician Ron Woodroof (Matthew McConaughey) is stunned to learn that he has AIDS. Though told that he has just 30 days left to live, Woodroof refuses to give in to despair. He seeks out alternative therapies and smuggles unapproved drugs into the U.S. from wherever he can find them. Woodroof joins forces with a fellow AIDS patient (Jared Leto) and begins selling the treatments to the growing number of people who can't wait for the medical establishment to save them.

Eleven

Autostraddle

The film fails to break the pattern of transphobic narratives in cinema, perhaps because it doesn't understand that trans people are not the same as cis gay people.

Kate Muir

Times (UK)

Sometimes a character punches through the screen, beyond the film containing him. Matthew McConaughey's performance as an HIV-positive cowboy in Dallas Buyers Club is one of those moments.

Candice Frederick

Reel Talk Online

Though Jean-Marc Valle's direction is sometimes indistinct, it does allow the actors to come off more inhibited in their performances and each scene is that much more authentic.

Erick Estrada

Cinegarage

... At times, the film feels like a pharmaceutical road movie, at others, like a gritty urban Western and an escape/chase movie like Catch Me If You Can (2002), without Spielberg's charms but with Vallée's denunciations. [Full review in Spanish]

Kaleem Aftab

Filmmaker Magazine

As a movie it’s a little haphazard and it takes the misstep of trying too hard to create a strong dramatic arc by overegging his wild days that led to him catching the virus.

Ruthless T Matthew stuns in this flick with top notch acting. Supported by a stellar performance in Jared Leto. The true dark side of the aids epidemic is displayed. Movie makes you grow to love the main character even more. What a great movie Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Dan R Matthew McConaughey and Jarod Leto really out did themselves in this movie, the raw emotion and character development, paired with intense dialogue throughout the movie really encourages an emotional reaction, top 10 movie of all time for sure. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review Nathan M The only watchable part of this film was the part where Jared Leto had AIDS. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review Benjamin H Although there is one fictional character that feels tacked on and there are some tonal shifts that could have been handled better, Dallas Buyers Club is an authentic, emotionally rich and thought provoking biographical drama that is phenomenally acted by Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/10/24 Full Review Desiray M It gave an insiders account of the situation people with HIV or AIDS have to go through to get medication. The ugly truth of not on being condemned by others but not being able to get treatment because it's so costly. The characters were flushed out and well designed. It was very entertaining. I truly enjoyed it. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Ava V This movie was incredible! Definitely watch!
