The Wolf of Wall Street

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie, Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Chandler, Rob Reiner. DiCaprio plays Jordan Belfort, a real-life Wall Street honcho who made a fortune in the stock market and then ended up serving time in prison for his shenanigans. The movie is very heavy on "colorful" language, drugs, nudity and simulated sex. The movie is also three hours long, and every other word is fuck. I found it distasteful for the most part, and I can't recommend it. Some parts of the film were funny, so you might classify it as a black comedy, but I don't think the funny outweighs the ugly. (English subtitles are available for the hearing-impaired.) Grade: B-
