What to Know

Critics Consensus

Funny, self-referential, and irreverent to a fault, The Wolf of Wall Street finds Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio at their most infectiously dynamic.

Wendy Ide Times (UK) ... A sprawling riot of bad taste and consumption — and tremendously entertaining if you’re in the right mood. Nov 23, 2022 Full Review Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk The film has roused censure for glorifying crime, with scant, awkwardly realised minutes paid to Belfort's eventual comeuppance. But surely 71-year-old Scorsese, a one-time wannabe priest whose work is preoccupied with morality, did that deliberately? Rated: 4/5 Sep 6, 2017 Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire Scorsese is fascinated by procedure, by drawing back the curtain and showing us how things happen, though he keeps the picture nimble and entertaining enough to avoid burying himself in the minutiae. Jun 18, 2016 Full Review Noah Gittell Washington City Paper It continues to provoke and entertain... Oct 12, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Scorsese depicts an intriguing and marvelously loathsome human beast in its natural setting, where the verdict on its judgment lies in the hands of its audience. Rated: 4/4 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson "The Wolf of Wall Street" doesn't want to be lovable. It just wants to remind you how excessive wealth can get and catch you being entertained by it. You can't target excessiveness to hate without being excessive in its depiction. Rated: 4/5 Jun 26, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Just a masterpiece and one of my favourite movies of all time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Nick R A wildly entertaining and funny film that shows off Leonardo DiCaprio in top form. And while a lot of guys out there will watch this movie and feel inspired to act like the idiot in the movie, it still has a strong story and lesson for those literate enough to understand it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review Artin S Classic and novel at the same time. A staple of modern cinema. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Craig T One of the most entertaining movies I’ve seen in a while full of humor and surprises Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Audience Member Pika de cachorro, porra Loka, maluco maluco, bom demais, leonador dicaprio esbagacou nesse filme, oque dizer desse filme? Loucura loucura, isso que digo. Pura diversão. Wow konomoul Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Piya B A Roaring Roller Coaster of Excess and Exhilaration! "The Wolf of Wall Street" isn't just a movie; it's an experience, a wild ride through the opulent and obscene world of Jordan Belfort, played with electrifying charisma by Leonardo DiCaprio. Here's why this film deserves every star in the sky: 1. DiCaprio's Performance: Leo delivers what might be his most dynamic role yet. He's like a human firework, exploding with energy, charm, and a deliciously dark humor. His portrayal of Belfort's rise and fall is nothing short of Oscar-worthy - oh wait, it should have been! 2. Scorsese's Direction: Martin Scorsese proves once again why he's a master of his craft. The pacing is frenetic, the visuals are stunning, and the way he handles the narrative's dark comedy is like watching a maestro conduct an orchestra of chaos. 3. Script and Dialogue: The script is sharp, witty, and loaded with lines that you'll quote at parties (if you dare). The dialogue captures the absurdity and the allure of Belfort's world perfectly. 4. Supporting Cast: Jonah Hill, in his most hilariously unhinged role, alongside Margot Robbie, who brings both beauty and brains to the screen, makes for an ensemble that's as talented as it is madcap. 5. The Moral Ambiguity: Rather than preach, the film throws you into the deep end of debauchery and lets you swim in the moral ambiguity. It's a satire that makes you laugh, cringe, and think - all at once. 6. Cinematic Energy: From the editing to the soundtrack, every element pulsates with an energy that makes you feel like you're on the trading floor, or at one of Belfort's legendary parties. "The Wolf of Wall Street" might not be for the faint of heart with its unapologetic display of greed, drugs, and debauchery, but it's a cinematic tour de force that captures the essence of excess with humor, style, and a touch of insanity. In short, this film is a stock that everyone should invest in for a guaranteed high return in laughter, shock, and awe. Bravo, Scorsese, bravo!
