tht was such omg scene but my fav n tht really broke me was when Rayon (jared) pays his dad a visit for help dressed in suit.. n his dad goes: oh god.. Rayon: yes god is helping you. I have AIDS... that scene was so hard n sad n really hit me
Hey slick well how was the movie? I just came back from gargantua so it's been about 3 hours for me butb5 years for you but nonetheless what you think?
I got a hug from Jared Leto when I was 14 after I saw his band live. Still consider it to be one of my greatest accomplishments. heh... I'm gonna try and see this movie after christmas. I've been dying to see it the minute I found out Jared was in it. Not only am I a big fan of his music but I always thought he was a great actor, and it's obvious that he's very committed to the roles he chooses to play (like when he gained a bunch of weight for Chapter 27). It'd be awesome if he got nominated for an Oscar (McConaughey too).
I think it's gonna be a tough award season for lead actor between Chiwatel Eijafor, Matthew McConaughey, Idris Elba, Oscar Isaac, Juaquin Phoenix, Leo DiCaprio, Christian Bale, and Tom Hanks. Just a crazy competitive field this year for that award. To think that all of those people I just listed won't even get nominated for the Oscar is just crazy to me.
Mathew was really awesome in True Detective , I also like how the show is more realistic and that it takes them the whole season to solve the case and through flashbacks and current time it takes decades to solve the case. Unlike every other crime drama where the bad guy is caught in a couple hours or days rapped up in a 40 minute show.
from ghosts from girlfriends past to Dallas buyers club.. wow what a jump. Jared was life in this movie! he was phenomenol in it! n Matthew really proved himself as an actor. He was just Ron
MM really has turned his career around. Ever since I saw his performance in Killer Joe, I've really enjoyed watching him as an actor. Then Mud came and I was hooked. Who knew he was so good when he kept doing those stupid romcoms where he played the same character in every role? Not a fan of Leto per say although he nailed the role in Requiem For A Dream so I know he can be good.
ugh killer joe was so awkward to watch..him making an underage girl do all that stuff for him and touching his cock and shit. I mean yes it is just a movie and in reality the actress is not a minor at all but the fact that it was about an underage girl made everything so disturbing to watch.
I saw the movie last weekend, and I thought it was a terrific movie with grade A-performances from McConaughy and Leto. Leto needs to win best supporting actor this year! Glad you liked it Chris!
I agree with what you said about Jennifer Garner. Her character should've been played by somebody like Robin Wright (or...Robin Wright lol). Someone of a higher acting caliber.
Great review Chris! Great to see Matthew turning his career around, absolutely loved him in Mud, my fave film of this year, just ahead of American Hustle! Keep it up Chris, all the best! Merry Christmas!
You know, I was actually going to ask you if you had listened to any of Jared Leto's music with Thirty Seconds to Mars, I actually didn't know he was the band's lead singer until more recently, let's hope he wins Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars for this film, can't say the same about Matthew McConaughey for best leading actor though, that should go to Leo DiCaprio, because he's been snubbed one time too many.
I just saw it today. It was good, but not great. I personally thought that it was a bit overhyped. The editing was pretty choppy and, as you said, the tone was very inconsistent. Matthew McConaghuey's performance was alright (a little overrated in my opinion (it was definitely better than most stuff he put out)), but my god did Jared Leto give such a magnificent portrayal as Rayon. I'm hoping that he gets the Oscar this year for Best Supporting Actor!
Chris, have you seen Frailty with Matthew McConaughey? That was one of his best performances by him too. Can't wait to see this movie, though. Great review.
Every time someone reviews this movie, the reviewer always says "Jennifer Garner wasn't in the same level as Matt and Leto." But why? Did her character HAVE to be as extreme as the other two? Do enlighten me, because I really don't understand why everybody keeps saying that about her performance. She was playing a doctor. Naturally, her healthy doctor was going to pale in comparison with the skinny transgender and the sickly cowboy, as far as appearances go (and appearances do help sell a role, otherwise Matt and Leto wouldn't have bothered with the extreme weight loss), but that doesn't mean her contribution should be overlooked.
+zhaquiri No, that's not the point. Being extreme or odd is different from being good. Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhart's performances in The Dark Knight are beloved because of how well they portrayed the subtle emotions of their characters. Jennifer Garner was good, but actually wasn't at the same level as the other 2 not because of the character she was given, but how well she portrayed it.
Utkarsh Bansal Gordon and Dent are pretty significant characters in the Batman universe, especially relative to Garner's Dr. Saks, who didn't really play a very important role in DBC, but simply acted as some sort of an underscore for the two more prominent characters. I saw her performance as nuanced, and it didn't need to be anything more than that, because that was the purpose of the character. Woodroof was there for the satisfaction of the story, and Rayon was there for the heart...while Eve was simply there to ground the movie. I stand by my point: Because of the extremeness of the other two characters, it doesn't matter how well Garner played her part...it's always, always, always going to pale in comparison to McConaughey's and Leto's performances. If people truly mean what you're suggesting they mean, then why is it that all of these reviewers seem to be sharing the same line -- that Garner "was not in the same level." I haven't even heard an actual _reason_ why they think she "wasn't in the same level." So far, apparently, "she just wasn't."
Not all, actually. If I remember right, the Schmoes actually loved her performance. And I thought she had an important role in the story and she was nuanced in it, but many actors can manage that level of nuance. If you look at The Fighter, Christian Bale and Melissa Leo had the extreme roles and Amy Adams was relatively grounded, but no one forgets to mention how great she was. That is because of the nuance. Garner was good, but not at that level.
I agree Chris, acting by the two male performers are the strongest point of this movie and are award worthy even in this years academy awards which is very very strong in the male categories in particular. I don't agree with you about the camerawork wasn't an issue for me at all. Tone yes a little off a couple of times but pacing was fine.
Got very repetitive in the middle for my taste, but it's still a very good movie with some incredible performances and some top notch editing. Had it been given a bigger window to shoot and a bigger budget, it probably could have been even better.
I can´t wait to see this one, especially looking forward to the performances, it happend the same with Kill your Darlings, it doesn´t look like a GREAT film but I want to see it cos of the performances. And I agree with Chris, the really great films are the ones that stay with you after you leave the theater.That´s why Avengers is nothing next to The Dark Knight for example, the second one is deep and makes you think, Avengers did absolutely nothing to me (I know comic book movies are a different story, but still).
I think one of the things that held it back a bit was Rayon, I feel like they could have done more research on genderqueer women or trans women, and getting a cis guy to play rayon made it not quite feel like it worked
I liked this movie, the performances were just like you sayied "out of this world" Jared Leto was incredible. But i think that the movie that for me was really hard to watch and really got into my mind and followed me for days was "12 years a slave". I think it was a bit better than Dallas, but it was also an incredible movie.
I know that this is an old video but had to say what's with the dig at ghosts of girlfriend's past I Loved Matthew in that movie and in that role and Jennifer was pretty good in it too. That was a solid romantic comedy movie also Loved him in failure to lange and magic mike too!
This movie is fantastic, one of the best of the decade, although I did not find it hard to watch at all which some people claim. Matthew and Jared gave phenomenal performances, good to see that Matthew won over Leo's over the top, screaming performance, i love Leo, but tWoW is a ridiculous performance
Agreed again. That movie was so ridiculously stupid. I think these ignorant sheep are just pre programmed to like these movies because they are "supposed" to.
Seem a great movie on low budget and in the director's chair, not a overated hollywood director, Jean-Marc Vallée, un pure Quebecois!!! (from Canada, province of Quebec, the only french province!)
Both the gents will be nominated and I agree with you on Garner....boring....the film didn't really capture me and I felt it was flat...I couldn't really feel the drama...
Good review, but I take issue with one of your own tonal shifts: "you're like yeah, I can completely understand why this guy got AIDS, he just lead the worst, filthiest lifestyle." Is this the 1980s? Do we have to fight the stereotype that AIDS is some filthy person's disease all over again? True, it's harder to get than we thought, and certain things you do (and MM's character did them) that increase your odds of getting it. But you can still get it from one instance of unprotected sex -- and the number of "accidental" pregnancies suggests that vast numbers of non-filthy people have unprotected sex, too. Maybe you were trying to pay tribute to the film's "realistically dirty" approach, whatever that means to you, but it came out so wrong. Why not just say it was realistic, and true to the characters?
Completely agree with what you said about the movie BUT I didn't particularly like the movie. I just feel uncomfortable watching these kinds of films. Requiem for a Dream goes in the same direction...
Matthew McCoughnahey is really unlucky. In previous years he would have nailed the win. But this year unfortunately, I think he was pipped by Cheitel Elijofor. Jared Leto is in an even more competitive arena with the likes of Michael Fassbender, Daniel Bruhl and surprisingle Barkad Abdi. Its tough to say whether he will win.
I think Chiwetel is the only one that will without a doubt get nominated (considering that's just as competitive as winning this year), but it's fair game when the five golden nominees are announced. The level of acting between Michael Fassbender and Jared Leto are on a different level than the other two to me, and that's definitely saying something (Captain Phillips is in my top 3 of the year, for Christ's sake), so I believe it is between those two.
Nick Fraser Like the insight man! Captain Phillips is on my list of best movies this year too. However, with the academy, it can get extremely political. I'm agreeing with you that Fassbender and Leto gave great performances which really stood out for their imagination. However, Abdi's turn as a Somalian pirate and Daniel Bruhl's rendering of Niki Lauda might actually wind up winning for their i guess....fitting of criteria as safer bets on the part of the Academy voters.
Vedant Naik I think the Academy, in the case of Barkhad Abdi, will most likely only nominate him because his accent already fit the role (horrible excuse, but these are the same guys that put Christian Bale in the best SUPPORTING actor role, so anything goes). With the case of Daniel Bruhl, he doesn't have the same momentum when it comes to publicity as the other two; don't get me wrong, his performance was fantastic, but the other two have so many supporters compared to that of Bruhl. Here's hoping we see a great race leading up to the event.
My only complaint about this movie was that, while McCoughaney's character was great, Leto's was about as two-dimensional as Angel in Rent. He was pretty much the archetypal "gay with a heart of gold" character and you really get no insight into his character at all.
I thought this film was good, a bit overrated. McConaughey and Leto are great but the movie felt cliché and dull here and there, and a little Oscar bait-y. I still think Mud is McCounaughey's best movie of the year. Though I haven't seen The Wolf of Wall Street yet.
The one thing you can't knock is even though Leo hasn't won an Oscar yet he is nominated on a regular. You don't see that from some of these other actors. There nominated once and might win it and then that's it. Leo has great range
Frankie Gino I just don't see it and I don't understand why he keeps getting work. There's something about his face that makes him look like a perpetual child to me. Perhaps it's because I remember him as a child star though. But it's his voice that puts me off. I appreciate a good voice and I just find his voice uncharismatic. He's no Al Pacino (and yes I know he does the 'shouty' thing occasionally). I suppose it's all subjective though.
When McCounaghey and Leto won oscars for their roles I was so happy. They really deserved it
Hey yo mr white I loved you in BB
alright, alright, alright
True🥰
Not about Garner. About the ill men who make you cry!
At times, watching this movie, I felt like shit. Complete shit. Which really is a testament to the performances of McConaughey and Leto.
Why?
I'd give this an A, Considering an A+
I stand by the A, no A+ though
+SJCookiEzZ
It's a fantastic film, definitely a solid A for me
This is one of my favorite films of the year. I am still in awe at how much McConaughey has turned his career around.
MM is nailing it this year for acting.
I'm sorry but an B+ is just ludicrous.
Jon Kline What does that has to do with anything?
@@digitalis7450 Jon Kline was a bitch, I guess.
I just saw the movie on Netflix
I think its a 8/10 too🤷
The grocery store scene in this movie is one of my favorite scenes of all time. It makes me cry.
tht was such omg scene but my fav n tht really broke me was when Rayon (jared) pays his dad a visit for help dressed in suit.. n his dad goes: oh god..
Rayon: yes god is helping you. I have AIDS...
that scene was so hard n sad n really hit me
Savage, intense and inspirational.
An A+

Agreed
Kenneth Alfaro id say a solid A, not A+
Mattew Mcconaughey is getting a lot of screen time recently. Can´t wait to see him on Interstellar

Trust me it is an A+ my favorite film of the year!
He doesn't want anything to be better than Don Jon. What a shitty movie Don Jon was.

Good review, but I take issue with one of your own tonal shifts: "you're like yeah, I can completely understand why this guy got AIDS, he just lead the worst, filthiest lifestyle."
Is this the 1980s? Do we have to fight the stereotype that AIDS is some filthy person's disease all over again? True, it's harder to get than we thought, and certain things you do (and MM's character did them) that increase your odds of getting it. But you can still get it from one instance of unprotected sex -- and the number of "accidental" pregnancies suggests that vast numbers of non-filthy people have unprotected sex, too.
Maybe you were trying to pay tribute to the film's "realistically dirty" approach, whatever that means to you, but it came out so wrong. Why not just say it was realistic, and true to the characters?
because living a filthy lifestyle is a good way to get aids not the only way simple as that, he wasn't stereotyping just stating the obvious.
I’m sure downing whiskey and beer and snorting mountains of cocaine and fucking hookers isn’t a very healthy lifestyle.
I hope Matt wins best lead actor although the competition this year is very tight.
Is it just me or would Breaking Good be a good title or tagline for this movie???
The most important thing about this film is the weight loss the actors did to make the characters look realistic
Maybe the movie was good, but I couldn't really understand what McCounaghey was saying all movie long 😌
thank you for explaining that to me! i just heard that it was another drug dealing movie. thanks for filling me in. i'm gonna watch it now!
They didn't just deserve the Oscars , but an A+ from you too . B+ ? Why ?

I just don't see it and I don't understand why he keeps getting work. There's something about his face that makes him look like a perpetual child to me. Perhaps it's because I remember him as a child star though. But it's his voice that puts me off. I appreciate a good voice and I just find his voice uncharismatic. He's no Al Pacino (and yes I know he does the 'shouty' thing occasionally). I suppose it's all subjective though.
such a great film.. it deserved an A- atleast
