ward-winning historical drama starring Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. Rodeo cowboy and homophobic redneck Ron Woodroof (McConaughey)'s life is transformed drastically when a work-related accident results in him being diagnosed with AIDS. Given a life-expectancy of 30 days by his doctors, Ron initially continues his life in a state of denial but as the clock keeps ticking he becomes more and more interested in the background of the disease and its treatments.
Learning that FDA-unapproved drugs are freely available over the border in Mexico, he takes matters into his own hands and begins transporting them into the United States. As word gets out about Ron's new venture, he is introduced to the local homosexual community and together with his new transgendered friend Rayon (Leto) he establishes the 'Dallas Buyers Club' which offers treatments to those in need. However, with the success of his business comes the attention of the FDA and local drug enforcement and he is soon engaged in a battle with the authorities who want to shut down the club.
The film was nominated for six Academy Awards and won three, including Best Actor (McConaughey) and Best Supporting Actor (Leto). Both actors also received the corresponding accolades at the Golden Globes.

'Funny, fresh and heart-warming' Stella Newman 'Smart, self-aware,
and properly funny' Richard Roper 'A dream of a rom-com!' Holly
Miller Can you fall in love like they do in the movies? It's Evie
Summers' job to find out. Because if she can't convince her film
agency's biggest client, Ezra Chester, to write the romantic comedy
script he owes producers, her career will be over. The catch? He
thinks rom-coms are unrealistic - and he'll only put pen to paper
if Evie shows him that it's possible to meet someone in real life
the way it happens on the big screen. Cynical Evie might not
believe in happily ever after, but she'll do what it takes to save
the job that's been her lifeline . . . even if it means recreating
iconic rom-com scenes in public. Spilling orange juice on a cute
stranger? No problem. Leaving her number in books all over London
to see who calls? Done. With a little help from her friends - and
the father-daughter duo who witness her humiliations - Evie is
determined to prove she can meet a man the way Sally met Harry. But
can a workaholic who's given up on love find a meet-cute of her
very own? Perfect for fans of The Flatshare, Beach Read and If I
Never Met You, Would Like to Meet is a love story for hopeless
romantics everywhere. 'A fresh and funny romcom with all the magic
of the movies' Anna Bell 'Winters's charming debut combines tropes
from classic romantic comedy films to hilarious effect' Publishers
Weekly 'Relive your favourite rom-com movie moments in this
charming and delightful meet-cute novel' Erin Reinelt 'A writer
who's one to watch' Sarra Manning 'This is the perfect romcom,
sharp and clever and so funny!' Michele Gorman 'The references to
classic films of the genre will delight rom-com fans, as will the
sweet romance. The best scenes, though, are with Evie and her three
best friends, who have the warmly mocking dynamic of friends in a
Richard Curtis film. A lovely, humorous ode to romantic comedies'
Kirkus Reviews 'Winters employs self-aware, genre-savvy characters
to expertly balance humour and heart' Publishers Weekly (starred
review)
