Misogynistic, Ableist, Racist, and apologist.

Rating: 1/10 (1 January 2014)

I'm going to come right out and say I did not finish the movie. The fact that the main characters are portrayed as people to be exalted is absolutely disgusting - especially given that the titular "Wolf of Wallstreet" robbed his own daughter repeatedly. Belfort left his teenaged daughters thousands of dollars in debt by laundering money in their names.
I'm guessing that wasn't seen as important to the writers of this movie.
The movie itself is a seizure-inducing parade of hyper-fetishized women, shameless drug use (which is heavily glorified, even within the context that these guys are bad people), ableist slurs (at one point a character says if they had a "retarded" child due to an incestuous relationship, they would just send it to an institution, and the movie opens with a "midget-throwing" contest).
Even though the heroes of this story (as there was no possible way to interpret them as villains except for conscious disgust with the writers) are eventually caught, it is far overshadowed by the hours of cocaine-snorting whoring villain protagonists and the high life they appear to be leading.
While I understand that movies with scantily-clad sex objects (as the women are reduced to for the purpose of this film) tend to rate highly at the box office (and apparently on IMDb), this film claims to take from real life.
When a movie supposedly follows real events, I expect them to be real, not glamorized for the sake of saving a con-artist's reputation (which ought to be so befouled no amount of name changes or money could redeem).
This movie is absolutely revolting and shame on anyone who reviewed it as otherwise.
