Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

2024

★★★★★ Liked 34

film of a lifetime. An extraordinary voyage traversing the wastelands, centred on the emergence of our oppressed heroine. Spending 2.5 hours within George Miller's ingeniously malevolent sandbox is pure fucking joy - masterfully constructed set pieces, stark contrasts between sadness and hilarity, and one of the decade's most cruelly funny ing performances. fucking monumental stuff this fellas.

The Substance

★★★★½ 36

From the first 30 minutes, it's evident that this film has no interest in dealing with female self-perception and beauty norms with any subtlety; it's a provocation from start to finish that only grows in grotesqueness as the film progresses. Doesn't play it safe and throws you right into the deep end, propelled by absolutely revolting moments of Cronenberg-esque body horror and highly satirical punchlines that will either completely work for you or not. A sparkling tale on the exterior…
