I think we may have just found an Oscar winner.

Yeh I'm drained just watching the trailer. He's unrecognisable and the storyline seems very different and emotional.
His performance in Mud earlier this year is my favourite acting performance of the year thus far, and he is also in Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street later in the year as well as what looks like being a pretty remarkable turn in Dallas Buyers Club.
was a terrific little film, it's kind of the love child of stand by me and the fugitive, in a good way...:)
It's premiering (like most potential Oscar-bait movies) at the Toronto Film Festival in a couple of weeks, and then will be on general release in the USA at the start of November, so I assume we'll probably get it around that time as well.
From the link posted the UK release is Feb next year. Similar scenario to Lincoln, which had a UK release of Jan while it was released in the US in November in the US.
I think sometimes it's because being released around awards season can help drive the international box office for films that are likely to be in contention.
Why the long wait if the US are getting the film at the end of November?
I'm really looking forward to seeing this.
Matthew M and Jared Leto give such astonishing performances. Even Jennifer Garner is brilliant too. I learned something about the treatment of dealing with Aids i had never known before. It is an eye opening film. I would urge anyone to see this.
Its quite common for some of the big Oscar contenders not to be released till jan and feb, with earlier US releases, it's a case with a number of the likely best picture nominees. In part I think when films are nominated for the major awards it can be used as a marketing tool oversees.
Anyway, this is the Oscar contender for this year I am most excited to see.
Watched it last night, it was a great movie.
9/10
Excellent performance by Matthew McConaughey.
The film is ok. Kind of all over the place.
Jared Leto surprised me by being very decent in this and I really enjoyed (in a heartbreaking kind of way) how the relationship between his & McConaughey's characters developed.
Overall I have to say that I really, really loved this movie consequently it gets a comfortable & well deserved 9/10 from me...
Leto and McConaughey looking good for oscars this season, having just bagged SAG awards to add to their haul.
7.5/10
