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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

It's been awhile since I watched this movie but it was very entertaining, well written (adaptation), and the actors did a great job capturing the era and captivating the audience. This movie spawned many memes including the fan favorite "I'm not fkn leaving!". Classic.

A wild, wild story. The acting, plot and dialogue for this move were fantastic. My only complaint is that at 3 hours it feels like the story could have been shortened a bit in places. Some scenes go on and on and feel like they didn't need to be as drawn out. A crazy story and it is worth a watch if you have the 3 hour committment.

Rating: 8.2/10 ⭐️ I honestly felt like I needed a long shower after watching this. It is an exhausting, three-hour rush through a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah in expensive suits. The Director’s Eye: Scorsese is a master. The editing is breakneck, and DiCaprio’s 4th wall breaks make you feel like an accomplice. He plays a "false prophet of greed" perfectly—a powerful cautionary tale about gaining the whole world but losing your soul. The energy is infectious, even if the actions are repulsive. Jonah Hill is fantastic. The Cuts: The content is overwhelming. The sheer amount of nudity, drugs, and 500+ F-bombs crosses from realistic to gratuitous. It’s too long—cutting 30 minutes of partying would have sufficed—and at times, it risks celebrating the lifestyle too much. Verdict: A cinematic masterpiece, but a moral sewer. Brilliantly made but horrifying. Strictly for mature adults; definitely not for family movie night. Favorite Line: "Sell me this pen."

Superb acting from full cast of characters. Many showings of how greed can corrupt people, however it does propose an interesting debate where you draw the line between passion and greed.
