Dallas Buyers Club Review


Both Posters for the Movie

I know this is a beauty blog and I don't write about things like this, but I recently went to see a movie that came out called Dallas Buyers Club. Now this wouldn't be the type of movie I would go to see, truthfully I only went to see it because Jared Leto was in it, but Im so glad I did. This movie is one of the best I've seen. I've already read reviews from people saying the same.


Its a true story set in 1985 Texas were AZT trials are taking place which was the drug used as a form of treatment for AIDS.

Matthew as Ron Woodroof

It stars Matthew McConaughey as Ron Woodroof, a guy who struggles to come to terms with the fact he has AIDS.
Jared as Rayon

Jared Leto as Rayon, a transgender who also has AIDS. The two form an unlikely friendship to try and beat the disease.
Jennifer as Eve

Jennifer Garner stars as Eve who is originally helping Ron and Rayon in the hospital.


After being told he has thirty days to live Ron sets out to try and find better drugs that will keep him alive, so he goes to Mexico and finds a drug that they're using down there but its not FDA approved, so he sets up the Dallas Buyers Club, a club that you pay membership to and you get all the drugs you need for free, that way its not illegal. Rayon helps him out in this club, there have there fair share of ups and downs with the FDA confiscating the drugs twice so they go elsewhere.
Not going to lie, I did cry at the end of this movie.


Ron and Rayon

Once you get over the initial shock of seeing the weight loss in both Jared and Matthew and focus on whats happening you'll see how inspirational this movie is, it makes you want to know more and more about the characters and their lives.


This movie is heartwarming yet sad, its a perfect balance of having light hearted humour but still having a serious edge to it, if you see one movie this year let it be this, this is acting at its finest.
Its no wonder why they're winning so many awards for there parts.

Please let me know what you thought about it if you saw it. xx
