| A very fast three hours, Wolf is a fascinating, revolting, outlandish, uproarious, exhilarating and exhausting master work on immorality. |
|
| (Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times) |
|
| DiCaprio's swaggering, swinging-dick performance is the wildest damn thing he's ever put onscreen. |
|
| (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) |
|
|
| Sensational entertainment. This $100 million extravaganza is — let’s face it — rampantly over the top. Hell, it’s by Martin Scorsese, who is always over the top. |
|
| (Rex Reed, New York Observer) |
|
| This telling of the tale possesses enormous cinematic energy and a killer supporting cast full of hilarious delights. |
|
| (Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com) |
|
| What keeps the energy percolating is DiCaprio’s performance, in the loosest and most charismatic turn of his career. |
|
| (Liam Lacey, Toronto Globe and Mail) |
|
| It is the best and most enjoyable American film to be released this year. |
|
| (Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle) |
|
| If it had been a drama, The Wolf of Wall Street might have been unwatchable: There’s simply too much of everything. But Scorsese and screenwriter Terence Winter (The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire) hit on the genius idea to turn the story into a riotous comedy, one that keeps topping itself everytime you think it can’t possibly get crazier. |
|
| (Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald) |
|
| The Wolf of Wall Street joins After Hours as the most openly comedic films Scorsese has made. |
|
| (James Berardinelli, Reelviews) |
|
| As hot and wet as freshly butchered meat: every second, every frame of its three-hour running time is virile with a lifetime’s accumulated genius. |
|
| (Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph) |
|
| The oddest thing of all about The Wolf Of Wall Street is also the most unusual for a Scorsese film: it is incredibly, incredibly funny. |
|
| (Damon Wise, Empire) |
