Leonardo DiCaprio lights up Martin Scorsese’s Wall Street drama, which has the most swears of any Hollywood movie. Plus: Oscar-winner Michael B Jordan stars in and directs the ever entertaining Rocky spin-off
Perhaps the greatest of Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio’s six (and counting) collaborations, this financial crime caper is based on the memoir of large-living New York City stockbroker Jordan Belfort (DiCaprio). We follow Belfort’s rise and fall through the Black Monday crash and the 1990s boiler room boom, but there’s also time for memorable turns from a magnetic Matthew McConaughey as his mentor, and Margot Robbie in her breakthrough role as the seductive second wife. Just don’t be tempted to down a tequila shot for every f-bomb: it holds the current Guinness World Record for most swears in a mainstream Hollywood movie.

Writer-director Zach Cregger has become a critical darling since the release of his Oscar-winning Weapons, but this film – initially recognised only by true horror connoisseurs – is the one he made first. Georgina Campbell plays Tess, a woman who turns up at her Airbnb rental in a dodgy Detroit neighbourhood, only to find it already occupied by the harmless-seeming Keith (Bill Skarsgård). The two reluctantly decide to bunk up together and from there, things just get stranger, culminating in twists even the most experienced genre fans won’t see coming.
