The acting is excellent: Matthew McConaughey has 'upped his game' (and is realizing the potential shown in Contact); Jennifer Garner (The Odd Life of Timothy Green) plays her usual role; but it is Jared Leto (who apparently was in The American Quilt) who is absolutely spectacular. His performance is wide-ranging and riveting and the movie is much stronger because of him.
There is a scene in a grocery store that epitomizes the attitudes of the '80's that I believe society still holds today. While the Academy rewarded Tom Hanks in Philadelphia 20 years ago, I'd be surprised if it did so in 2014.
Nevertheless, I highly recommend this movie.
