Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga reviewed by Lex Briscuso. Narrated by Erik Adams. In theaters May 24, 2024.
It’s hard to overstate how immaculately crafted Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is, both as a prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road and as a standalone story of how the Wasteland created a powerful character. With a ferocious and savage heart, George Miller’s film takes flight into epic status. Weaving together topnotch worldbuilding, an emotionally resonant directorial eye, searing performances, sharp cinematography, and a hellraising score, this is a remarkable hero’s journey punctuated by incredible action scenes and an utterly stunning reflection on life and love prevailing beyond the fall of civilization. Maybe Hideo Kojima said it best: “George Miller is my God, and the Saga he tells is my Bible.” Witness it.
