    The Wolf of Wall Street

    ★★★★

    With a fantastic soundtrack, bizarrely brilliant dialogue and great comedic performances, Scorsese portrays a story that both demonises and glorifies itself simultaneously. A capitalistic, patriarchal, homosocial hellscape that was constructed to both entertain and critique the American society of Greed. A descent into the madness of corrupt capitalism and government. Jordan Belford was a cult leader to the American capitalist class. Yet despite this paradox, Wolf of Wall Street remains a great film which encapsulates everything that is wrong with American culture.

    ‘Heavenly Creatures’ (1994) dreamed so ‘Thoroughbreds’ (2017) could gallop.

    ★★★

    One of the only films that I would have preferred the prequel of Lemon and Tangerine’s adventures (murders).
