The Wolf of Wall Street

"The Wolf of Wall Street" is among Martin Scorsese's top five films. It is a mammoth accomplishment, barely 14 minutes less than "Titanic" but immensely more kinetic. It's a raucous narrative about selfishness and American materialism that sometimes doubles as gonzo humor.

However, its exaggerations are not excesses. The more outlandish aspects of the film are taken directly from Jordan Belfort's autobiography, which is why Margot Robbie is indeed the film's hidden weapon.

Prior to the publication of "The Wolf of Wall Street," Robbie was mostly unfamiliar to Americans who had not seen her movie "Pan Am." That means Robbie's exaggerated figure and comedic timing were both new discoveries, and the actress used them together to massage - and then shatter - the audience's and Belfort's ogling eyes.

The actress was also artistically accountable for the film's most provocative and unforgettable sequences, wherein Leonardo DiCaprio encounters her when she is wearing just heels and black stockings. The scene reveals Naomi Lapagila's emotional maturity as well as her physical beauty, and Robbie's ability to execute such a difficult scene before the age of 23 was an early indication of her acting skills.

Robbie steals the spotlight in a film featuring the world's most renowned actors, which is why we decide that The Wolf of Wall Street is definitely among the best movies of Margot Robbie.
