The movie digs into the psyche of a patient of the disease during the year when people ostracize the afflicted. The movie boasts of two of the most notable performances of 2013: Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. These actors take method acting into its extremes successfully. They're much into their respective characters. Such efforts can only contribute very significantly to the films' many merits.
