Critic Reviews:
- " 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? " – Larushka
Ivan-Zadeh
- " DiCaprio's powerhouse performance, and Scorsese's brilliantly
energetic direction make this a must watch for film lovers. " –
Chris Stuckmann
- " At three hours it's almost as excessive as Balfort's
$26,000 dinners. It feels a bit long, but like the spoiled brats it portrays,
it will not, and cannot, be ignored. " –
