Dallas Buyers Club brings its prescription to Blu-ray in a nearly extras-free edition that at least gives this movie a solid presentation of its picture and sound. Make no mistake, this is a tough movie, covering some of the events of what happened to Ron Woodroof in the 1980s after he was diagnosed with AIDS and given a short time to live. The movie is as scrappy as its main character – made for a low budget and spotlighting courageous performances by Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto, both of whom lost a significant amount of weight to play their parts. The movie doesn’t flinch from portraying the sex, drugs and rock and roll of Woodruff’s life, which may be a bit much for many viewers. It’s not a perfect movie, but it’s an important one. For that reason, and despite the lack of special features on this disc, the release is Recommended for purchase or rental.
