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 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

carmen M 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 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review Petro B Perfect for a movie night with friends or family. You get soaked up in the storyline of Jordan Belfort and the world created by Scorsese. The movie is so damn funny and entertaining. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/25/25 Full Review Jess S This is a fun watch, would never tell someone not to watch it but if you're looking for a more creative, original and 'artsy' movie this isn't for you. The story's plot of sheer greed, ambition and overconsumption end in a really entertaining watch with lots of fun moments. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Hunter P I love this movie every time I make a could thousand of dollars off of stocks or crypto I watch this movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Emmett S It was not entertaining. I watched it and wondered who on earth would want watch 3 hours of the most unlikable people doing terrible things. The only part I enjoyed is when I thought he was about to die, And when I found out at the end that he only got 3 years, It was just terrible. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review Blu B All Time Classic. DiCaprio & Hill are amazing in this and have terrific chemistry. Robbie is excellent as well and has amazing chemistry with DiCaprio. When the two have tension it's electric. Everyone else is really good but DiCaprio just dominates this from start to finish. Just an incredible charismatic, sleazy, likeable, and sympathetic character. Music is really good but I wish it was a bit more catchy on it's own. Everythign else is excellent. Scorsese's trademark direction is all over this. Th only minor complaint is this probably didn't need to be 3 hours and could've shaved 20-30 minutes off and not lost a step. It's a tale of excess and at times that reflected in the plot. There are scenes where it can go on a bit too long with showing the excess drugs, sex, and excess. And it can get a little repetitive. But Scorsese is so damn good as a director, the execution is amazing, Jordan is such a fasinating character and so is this world of Frat Culture and Goodfellas. The world building here is first rate. This film follows a very simliar structure to Goodfellas & Casino so if you've seen those you basically have seen this flick. It does do a great job making the technical business jargon pretty easy to understand to it's credit. And weaves 80-90% of the time pretty effortlesly between Jordan's personal problems/relationships and the rise/fall of the firm. It's truly fasinating and like watching a real time car wreck you can't turn away from. Everyone should give this a try once. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/05/25 Full Review Read all reviews
