Furiosa received a warm welcome following its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, landing a six-minute standing ovation for the Mad Max: Fury Road prequel. The enthusiastic reception came as the first glowing reviews for the new movie arrived, including our own 4-star Furiosa review.
Per Variety, during the standing ovation, Furiosa star Anya Taylor-Joy "blew kisses into the camera" and Dementus star Chris Hemsworth "looked teary-eyed". Director George Miller addressed the audience briefly and said: "We worked very hard on this film, and it’ll be very interesting to see what you make of it. Thank you for having us."
