Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
For three hours the movie operates at a ridiculous comedic pitch. You never forget you're at the circus. You never lose site of the lawlessness, the reckless pleasure, the sheer lunacy and lack of regulation.
Scorsese unleashes a furious, yet exquisitely controlled, kinetic energy, complete with a plunging and soaring camera, mercurial and conspicuous special effects, counterfactual scenes, subjective fantasies, and swirling choreography on a grand scale.
The Wolf of Wall Street is a magnificent black comedy: fast, funny, and remarkably filthy.
Man, does this movie have a savage bite.
