The Wolf of Wall Street

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 Mar 3 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 Justin B @Justinmoviewatcher 5d Great casting, good plot, horrible life decisions. Wife and I watch this movie quite often and it is enjoyable each time. I would say it hits my top 20. See more Keith P. @HairyStrat308 6d This movie came to me at the perfect time, where being a rich scambag sounded great. This movie is also the only movie where Leonardo DeCaprio gets out performed by Mathew McConaughey. See more Nitro H. @nitrohive Dec 7 This movie was so good. I know it’s based of true events but the plot and story and development was so good. It was funny, good, entertaining and interesting. It should the whole story from start to finish and had that extra charm of greatness. See more Noah H Dec 1 God, this was so cringe. DO NOT SHOW THIS TO YOUR CHILDREN!!! NOT APPROPRIATE!!! THE AMOUNT OF F-WORDS IN THIS THING IS SUPER GRATING!!! If you like insane amounts of obscene language in your movies you might like this but OMG! The F-words in this thing annoyed the HELL out of me. Again, do not watch with your kids. See more Matt L. @mattl Nov 30 Well written, amazing performances, and masterfully directed to make the movie that they wanted to make. The trouble I have with the film is the based on a true story aspect. The movie is intent on making satire and irony out of the cautionary tale of greed and excess. However, like Fight Club, this movie tends to be embraced by far too many who think this is a guide book instead of a warning. See more Read all reviews
