It was a good drama with a sad ending. The actors came to life in portraying a poor family trying to make ends meet.

The acting was brilliant! There was not a weak performance in the film. However, all the profanity was too much and over the top. In my view it subtracted from the film. Other than the abundance of unnecessary profanity, the film earned a solid B to B+ in my view.

Very interesting true story.

I thought the acting was fantastic. This was one of Matthew McConaughey's best roles, and newcomer Richie Merritt did an absolutely amazing job portraying Richard Wershe Jr. Jennifer Jason Leigh was excellent too, as well as the rest of the cast. The film was fascinating and extremely well-done. Excellent acting and directing! I plan to take my father to see it when it opens. I love true stories that are made into good movies and "White Boy Rick" is definitely one of them! I recommend it.
