The Wolf of Wall Street

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.

Movie Info

Martin Scorsese directs the story of New York stockbroker Jordan Belfort. From the American dream to corporate greed, Belfort goes from penny stocks and righteousness to IPOs and a life of corruption in the late 80s. Excess success and affluence in his early twenties as founder of the brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont warranted Belfort the title "The Wolf of Wall Street." -- (C) Paramount

Critic Reviews for The Wolf of Wall Street

All Critics (275) | Top Critics (52)

  • Is it immoral to celebrate villainy? There's not much point in pretending The Wolf of Wall Street doesn't do that, pretty exuberantly too.

    Jan 17, 2014 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

    David Sexton

    London Evening Standard
    Top Critic

  • The Wolf of Wall Street does not quite have the subtlety and richness of Scorsese's very best work, but what an incredibly exhilarating film: a deafening and sustained howl of depravity.

    Jan 16, 2014 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

    Peter Bradshaw

    Guardian
    Top Critic

  • DiCaprio has hinted before that comedy might be his natural calling -- think of Catch Me If You Can -- but his energy here is not just fun, it's discovery.

    Jan 9, 2014 | Full Review…

    David Thomson

    The New Republic
    Top Critic

  • For three hours the movie operates at a ridiculous comedic pitch. You never forget you're at the circus. You never lose site of the lawlessness, the reckless pleasure, the sheer lunacy and lack of regulation.

    Jan 3, 2014 | Full Review…

    Wesley Morris

    Grantland
    Top Critic

  • Scorsese unleashes a furious, yet exquisitely controlled, kinetic energy, complete with a plunging and soaring camera, mercurial and conspicuous special effects, counterfactual scenes, subjective fantasies, and swirling choreography on a grand scale.

    Richard Brody

    New Yorker
    Top Critic

  • The Wolf of Wall Street is a magnificent black comedy: fast, funny, and remarkably filthy.

Audience Reviews for The Wolf of Wall Street

  • Jan 14, 2018
    The Wolf of Wall Street may be an entertaining film based on a true story, but it places too much emphasis on style over substance and fails to become anything more than a compilation of short memoirs from Jordan Belfort's life.
    Sean T Super Reviewer
  • May 27, 2017
    the success of scorsese's wolf of wall street is that it's enjoyable to watch and it shouldnt be. it should simply be a lesson learned about the world of the stock broker because it's not possible to empathise with his character as everything he does it so vile. it's partly due to dicaprio. it's possibly the best acting he's done in anything but it's also to do with the presentation. the self narration, similar to goodfellas and moments where leo talks directly to the camera and you, the audience, are key. lastly it's down to the humour. there's some very awkward but funny, laugh out loud, moments that i'm still thinking about and laughing to myself over long after viewing.

    This movie unfortunately is too raunchy to ever be considered for an award, but it is a quality film. Di Caprio and Scorsese combine for one of the most fun financial movies of this decade. There are solid performances from all the main and supporting characters. Many weren't happy with the ending, though it was a very accurate representation of this day and time, and falls in line with typical Scorsese films. Don't watch with family, seriously
