Graphic, Hysterical, and Masterfuly Directed!! Quite Possibly the Best film of 2013

Rating: 8/10 (25 December 2013)

Though I wouldn't touch Hugo with a ten-foot pole ( just not my kind of movie), it seems like good-ole Marty has got his mojo back and with a vengeance. This film has all the Scorsese elements: drugs, violence, and greed, but in The Wolf of Wall Street they are jacked up on steroids. This movie was sooooo freaking graphic, and raw!!! Though such outrageous events transpire, they are all believable and usually hysterical.
2013 really hasn't been cinema's year. Not too many great movies have come out. So I was really looking forward to this film and my god; I was not disappointed. This movie had fantastic camera shots, amazing Scorsese style, beautifully edited, and acting left me speechless. I cannot praise the filmmaking of this movie enough. I wouldn't say Di Caprio's greatest performance, but it's in the the top 3.
I will say though, I wasn't expecting how graphic this movie was going to be. I don't mind sex scenes really, but this movie had some raunchy ones. Regardless I didn't really care because this film made me so invested in it and made me laugh my ass off.
All-in-all, this was a unique, and amazing movie that blew me away and made every second of the 3 hours worth it. I highly recommend it.
