The Wolf of Wall Street



What I liked:

  • It's based on a true story.
  • Matthew McConaughey is classic McConaughey.  
  • Jonah Hill is fantastic.
  • The supporting cast continues to be wonderful: Margot Robbie, Kyle Chandler, Rob Reiner, Jon Bernthal, Jon Favreau, Jean Dujardin, Joanna Lumley, Christin Milioti, Christine Ebersole, Shea Whigham, P.J. Byrne, Kenneth Choi, Brian Sacca, Henry Zebrowski, Ethan Suplee, and Aya Cash.
  • Directed by Martin Scorsese.
  • It's a crazy, almost unbelievable, story.
  • Hair, makeup, and costume design were all great.
  • Fabulous soundtrack.

What I didn't like:
  • I don't know if it because he doesn't seem to age or if I just don't like him but Leonardo DiCaprio just did an ok job.  
  • It's way too long.  It felt like 4 hours instead of 3.
  • There should have been more McConaughey.
