In 1987, Jordan Belfort takes an entry-level job at a Wall Street brokerage firm. By the early 1990s, while still in his 20s, Belfort founds his own firm, Stratton Oakmont. Together with his trusted lieutenant and a merry band of brokers, Belfort makes a huge fortune by defrauding wealthy investors out of millions. However, while Belfort and his cronies partake in a hedonistic brew of sex, drugs and thrills, the SEC and the FBI close in on his empire of excess.

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

The Times (UK)

... A sprawling riot of bad taste and consumption — and tremendously entertaining if you’re in the right mood.

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

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.

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

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

The iconic story of Jordan Belfort, portrayed by the movie icon himself, Leo. great story, timeless scenes, and an incredible performance by Leo really captures the true story of Jordan Belfort and makes you feel like you’re there witnessing it first hand.

Right as the credits started rolling, I was like, "man, that was unfortunate." I really wanted to like this, but I was just on the fence. It was a very well crafted movie, I just didn't find it interesting. If you're into this type of subject, you'll love this movie.

The Wolf of Wall Street starts slowly, but once it delves into the core of the story, you’ll find yourself laughing and eager to discover where it takes you next. However, I must admit that the film could have benefited from a shorter runtime; there are certain parts that drag on.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
