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 The Times (UK) 11/23/2022
... A sprawling riot of bad taste and consumption — and tremendously entertaining if you’re in the right mood. Go to Full Review
Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk 09/06/2017
4/5
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? Go to Full Review
Jason Bailey Flavorwire 06/18/2016
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. Go to Full Review

It continues to provoke and entertain... Go to Full Review
Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 08/19/2022
4/4
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. Go to Full Review

4/5
"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. Go to Full Review

carmen M 03/03/2025 If you like money, you like this movie, oh my God DiCaprio got a love them in this movie so good Menahan also so good See more Tyson D @Spudsprout 5d (Overall Rating: 4.75/5) (Perfect) --- (Cinematography/Atmosphere: 4.25/5) Although there is nothing groundbreaking as far as this goes it did exactly what it needed to do. Pure chaos. --- (Storyline/Plot: 4.25/5) It stays mostly true to the story of Jordan Belfort with liberties of course taken, but it is a hell of a fun journey. --- (Acting: 5/5) This is the film Leo should have won an Oscar for. Everyone's performaces were absolutely immaculate. --- (Character Quality: 5/5) All of the characters were written perfect. --- (Entertainment Value: 5/5) 3 hours of pure relentless chaos that does not let up. Such a great ride. --- (Expectations vs. Reality: 5/5) Biographical films are sometimes boring, this one is far from it. See more Richard S @richard_52 6d Very good movie with plot twists and action See more Sadie S. @Happyperson.9875 Jun 28 Leonardo DiCaprio was really amazing in this movie. The entire script and story flowed very well and it was an excellent movie.. highly recommend See more Jarrin R Jun 28 I understand the over the top satire style of film making. This one just wasn't for me personally. It does deliver laughs and some great performances. I just was not real interested in the subject matter or story really. Very impressive cast that Martin has assembled though, that was one highlight. See more Chris S @Janomi Jun 27 The Wolf of Wall Street is Martin Scorsese firing on all cylinders. His energetic direction, rapid editing, inventive camerawork, and pitch-perfect use of narration transform what could have been a standard financial crime drama into one of the most entertaining films of his career. Despite running three hours, the pacing is so relentless that it rarely feels long. Leonardo DiCaprio delivers one of the best performances of his career, making Jordan Belfort both magnetic and completely reprehensible. Jonah Hill is hilarious as Donnie Azoff, while Margot Robbie announces herself as a star with a fierce personality and sex appeal in a fearless breakout performance. Terence Winter's screenplay expertly balances outrageous comedy, crime, and satire without ever losing momentum. The movie's excess won't be for everyone, and some viewers may find its relentless debauchery exhausting. Even so, the writing, performances, and Scorsese's direction make it an unforgettable experience. See more Read all reviews
