Todd Solondz is largely considered an infamous and controversial filmmaker; during his career, the writer/director has enjoyed pulling back the twitching curtain on the quintessential suburban facade, revealing a gallery of the grotesque hidden behind the pristine picket fences, innocuous bake sales, pleasant PTA meetings and seemingly well-adjusted American families.

It’s no secret that Hollywood has a tendency to glamorize real life into action-paced, yet fictionalized retellings that often pander to audiences rather than honor truth. With films that contain especially controversial or shocking content, audiences may feel more wary about potential exaggerations and fudging of truths. One such film that invites this questioning is The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), with its depictions of raunchy office parties, mind-boggling wealth and equally reckless management thereof, and rather extreme characterizations....
