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.

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) 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 The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) 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 The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) 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 The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Noah Gittell Washington City Paper It continues to provoke and entertain... Oct 12, 2023 Full Review The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) 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 The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) 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

Khai N Just Leo's acting skills. And that Matthew Mcconaughey's scene from the restaurant.

The movie really gets into the characters and the plot and is an amazing watch from start to finish and I highly recommend it. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/10/24 Full Review Kirill K "The Wolf of Wall Street" is a 2013 film that was released on December 25.The film is directed by Martin Scorsese. The film grossed over $400 million worldwide and was nominated for an Oscar in 5 categories. The film is based on the memoir of the same name by Jordan Belfort, a former New York broker. Jordan Belfort founded one of the largest brokerage houses in 1989, but ten years later he was convicted of money laundering and a number of other financial crimes. The author has coped with alcohol and drug addiction, developed during the machinations on Wall Street, has written two books and now lectures on how to achieve success.The main role was played by Leonardo DiCaprio. Also, such actors as Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie, Matthew McConaughey played the main roles. The acting in this movie is just great. Each actor is completely immersed in his character and it is very noticeable.I recommend everyone to watch this film, because it has already become a real classic of cinema.
