The Wolf of Wall Street.
This is Scorsese's best film since Goodfellas. It has so much bite for a film that has - you know what I'm going to leave it here as this movie is so absurdly inappropriate and obscene that I can't really make the point that needs to be made while skirting the objectionable content. Suffice to say it's a condemnation of Wall Street greed and opulence that is really, really biting.

I don't know what to think about this film. During the first half I was ready to call it the best film of the year - it was stunning, brilliant, touching, just all around a perfect perfect film. But the second half seemed to thematically undercut the first half, and I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that or the reasoning behind it yet.
But you know what? It's got me thinking. It's got me thinking hard about the place of technology and our relationship with it. And that's a success.
B, pending further thoughts.
