The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

What earned the score

• Gay Sex as Shock Spectacle

  The film includes references to and partially obscured views of gay oral sex, alongside an orgy of gay male couples with explicit sexual movements. Same-sex sex is deployed as shock spectacle within the film’s broader parade of debauchery and excess.

• Gay Housekeeper Beaten

  Belfort’s associates beat his gay housekeeper, bloody his face, and dangle him over a skyscraper railing. His gay identity is part of the characterization in this violent episode.

• Lesbian Nuns as a Punchline

  A character quips that nuns are all lesbians, reducing lesbian identity to a throwaway gag.

• Frightening Scenes Moderate

  The main character resorts to domestic violence near the end of the film.

  The movie, for the most part, is a dark comedy, as it deals with topics involving criminal activities on the stock market (hence the eponymous title) and associated sex overindulgence and drug addiction.

  The yacht crashes which is very intense.

  The scene where Donnie Azoff almost chokes to death is pretty intense.

  The scene where the guys hold the butler over the balcony may be frightening to some viewers.

  Some characters have a disturbing behavior.

  We see a plane explode right in front of Jordan looking through the window of a ship. He addresses three people have died inside and the scene is pretty dark.

  While some scenes are more comedic, like Jordan trying to stop Donnie from talking on the phone while under heavy drugs and Donnie choking on ham while still under the drugs, some scenes like the domestic violence near the end or the moments of drug use being shown completely on screen can be a bit intense and disturbing.

  The main character Jordan Belfort morally declines throughout the movie.
