Dallas Buyers Club

In 1986, a hard-living electrician is diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and given only thirty days to live. Refusing to accept the limited treatment available, he searches internationally for alternatives and builds an underground buyers club to help himself and others, drawing him into conflict with medical authorities and entrenched bureaucracy.

My take

You’ll appreciate this gripping, humane drama if you enjoy true stories about individuals challenging institutions, with strong performances and emotional weight; Not for you if you prefer lighter films or avoid illness-centered stories.
