He is ably supported by Jared Leto who as Rayon brings life and light moments to this otherwise gloomy story. He infuses the role with compassion and humanity balanced with equal measures of self-destruction.
The direction is passionate, though formulaic with decent production values. Vallee hits the crux of the story on the onset and ensures that the characters lead head on and they never digress.
What's more? The film does not advocate self-medication or glorify Ron Woodroof's demeanour. It just simply lays the cards on the table.
This film is worth a watch.
