A New York stockbroker refuses to cooperate in a large securities fraud case involving corruption on Wall Street, corporate banking world and mob infiltration. Based on Jordan Belfort's autobiography.
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.
What resonated with audiences
'The Wolf of Wall Street' is a vivid portrayal of greed and excess, with Martin Scorsese's direction and Leonardo DiCaprio's performance receiving acclaim. The film's humor, fast-paced narrative, and satirical take on Wall Street culture are strengths. However, criticisms include excessive debauchery, lack of moral depth, and potential glorification of unethical behavior. Some note the long runtime and repetitive scenes detract from impact. Despite this, the film is praised for bold storytelling, strong supporting performances, and Scorsese's signature style.
