Martin Scorsese directs Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill in this Wall Street true story following a massively successful and unscrupulous stockbroker who survived the stock market crash and went on a greed, sex, and drug-fueled financial rampage with no respect for the the law or basic standards of human decency. Co-stars Matthew McConaughey, Jon Favreau, Jean Dujardin and The Walking Dead’s Jon Bernthal. Based on the memoirs of Jordan Belfort, adapted for the screen by Terence Winter (The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire).

Eyebrows were raised when Martin Scorsese's real-life drama was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture, Musical Or Comedy. Although the soundtrack (including covers of Goldfinger and Mrs Robinson) is excellent, and it is Scorsese's funniest film by some distance, Wolf is neither musical nor comedy, more a riotously dayglo Goodfellas.

It is (Scorses's) brashest, most provocative work yet. There is a real verve to Wolf, as if the movie somehow recharged the filmmaker.

It’s like mainlining cinema for three hours, and I wouldn’t have wanted it a minute shorter.

There is no psychological insight, no moral insight, just no insight, full stop.

Baggy plotting may make Wolf a somewhat harder sell to audiences but it's... among the best that Scorsese has made.
Full review
A big, unruly bacchanal of a movie that huffs and puffs and nearly blows its own house down, but holds together by sheer virtue of its furious filmmaking energy and a Leonardo DiCaprio star turn so electric it could wake the dead.

An epic, boldly broad screwball comedy about the state of America, then and now.
Full review
Plays modern tragedy as epic farce, reminding us just how much fun Scorsese can be when he's in a playful mood.

Here is a white-collar crime caper that stirs golden memories of the Scorsese back catalogue, often quite knowingly and sometimes to a fault.
Full review
The length gives Scorsese, Winter, and their ensemble cast an opportunity to build setpieces of suitable extravagance, true to an antihero who installs a helicopter landing deck on his yacht just because he can.
Full review
The wages of greed and excess portrayed in grand, operatic, often very funny style.
Full review
Scorsese's funniest and most focused film in a long time, a jet-black sex and drug-soaked comedy featuring a bravura performance by Leonardo DiCaprio.
