The Ringer hosts Sean Fennessey and Amanda Dobbins revisit Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street as part of their year-long countdown of the 25 best 21st-century films, slotting it at No. 11. They highlight the movie’s manic energy, Leonardo DiCaprio’s career-defining turn as the slippery stockbroker Jordan Belfort, and its wild, merciless party atmosphere.
Beyond simply celebrating the film’s technical and performance brilliance, Sean and Amanda tackle the thorny question of whether Scorsese’s roller-coaster portrait ends up glorifying Belfort’s outlandish greed and debauchery or cleverly exposes the rot at the heart of Wall Street excess.
