“Sometimes it feels like I’m fighting for a life I ain’t got time to live,” says Matthew McConaughey’s character at one point in this movie. This is a based-on-a-true-story of the early dark and devastating days of AIDs, told from a homophobic hustler’s point of view. It’s an angry movie. It’s angry at the Food and Drug Administration for abdicating its responsibility to protect the quality of life; angry at the Law for disallowing sick people to legally be able to extend their lives; angry at pharmaceutical companies for selling drugs that benefit only the companies that sell them. But it’s also an award-inspiring movie.
