The Wolf of Wall Street - 8.5/10

I know it's getting some criticism for glamorizing the lifestyle of Belfort and his friends but I thought it done the exact opposite. Leo was brilliant in the role but you (or I, at least) dislike him after the opening 45 minutes or so. There's a lot of sex and nudity but I don't think it's so bad that there should be a big a fuss about it like there has been.. I doubt it would be happening if it was someone lesser known in the lead role. But anyway yeah, brilliant film. Leo's best performance to date and Kyle Chandler and Matthew McConaughey were really good in their smaller but important roles. A lot of GIPs and one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen in a serious film aswell (the whole cerebral palsy part)

Spoiler:

It got the balance perfectly aswell. The first hour and a half is all about the highs of his success and then just as you think it needs something to move it along a little Kyle Chandler's character pops up and takes the film in a completely different direction for the next hour and a half
