‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’ Review: Chris Hemsworth And Anya Taylor-Joy Take Dystopian Franchise To New Levels – Cannes Film Festival


A review of 'Furiosa': A Mad Max Saga, on origin story that stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth and hits new levels of action.

Her face says it all as she now must begin the long process of survival, honing skills no one her age could imagine and putting them to use when the gang encounters the Citadel and The Immortan Joe (Lachy Hulme), whose group will fight for superiority with the Dementus crowd. It is along this path in the Wasteland that Furiosa (now played by Anya Taylor-Joy) stows away, basically disguising herself as a male, on the incredible War Rig, a mind-blowing motorized machine that is a moving fortress all its own — and that is an understatement as is amply demonstrated in a 15-minute showcase set piece that takes cinematic action to new heights, even literally, when winged zeppelin bikers launch aerial attacks. This is not to say Taylor-Joy, who joins the film halfway through, isn’t his match, but she does it all with the eyes and a physicality she probably didn’t realize she was capable of (the training is intense, apparently) and she leads us right to cusp of where Theron picks up the role in the previous Fury Road.
