• …is consistently engaging, but is it meant to celebrate this reckless pursuit of wealth, or serve as a cautionary tale against it? That’s for each one of us to decide. To give credit to Scorsese, he’s made a film that works on more than one level, and a film that inspires debate. In their fifth collaboration, Scorsese and DiCaprio once again do their best work together.

    The Wolf of Wall Street isn’t about Belfort the stock manipulator who cheated poor people of hard-earned savings. It isn’t really about Wall Street either. It is about the culture that allows one to breed the other, and vice-versa.

    …one of the most amusing and appalling films around. Martin Scorsese paints a compelling portrait of Wall Street, that metaphor for American ability and greed, sending your head spinning with its ferocity. Leonardo DiCaprio stands foreground, delivering fresh-faced-with-wicked-eyes with the kick of a cocktail.

  • Watch it for the deadly Scorsese-Leonardo combination that creates magic each time these two team up. The Wolf of Wall Street is a good three hours spent at the theatre.

  • Bottom line, The Wolf of Wall Street is an obnoxious and voyeuristic film, but it is definitely brilliantly entertaining and one of the best films to come out in a long while.

    Leonardo DiCaprio keeps the energy levels high and delivers one of the best performances of his career. He makes Jorgan Belfort as shameless and arrogant as Scorsese must have imagined. And you can make out that Martin Scorsese has had too much fun making this unapologetic film. It’s the start of 2014 and what a start it is! Go and watch this wild ride!

    …one of the best films in recent times, don’t miss it.

  • Every scene is long, indulgent and excessive but so energetic, euphoric and shocking you can’t take your eyes off it. It’s definitely not something you should see with your parents. But it’s definitely something you need to see to know that entitled assholes like Belfort get away with minor jail time while others are branded criminals and rot in prison for far lesser offenses.

    The Indian audience would be disappointed with some abrupt edits and jump cuts. These cuts were imposed by the censors. Overall, ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’, like DiCaprio`s previous film, ‘The Great Gatsby’ is an over-egged pudding that`s worth a watch.

    What is truly remarkable about the movie is that inspite of being a movie which is full of drugs, cocaine and wild parties, it manages to save itself from the glorification of such a life. But then, that is just the job half-done. The other half includes turning the film back to the audience to make them really think whether it was really worth to live a life like this? Does it have some value? The audience would have gotten their own answers only if The Wolf of Wall Street would have managed to to do that.
