Anya Taylor-Joy received a six-minute standing ovation at Cannes for her role in 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga'.

The film is praised for intense action and unique visual sequences set in a post-apocalyptic Australia.

Furiosa's backstory is explored as she battles to reclaim her past, with Chris Hemsworth portraying the antagonist.

While Hemsworth's character adds a comedic element, the film faces criticism for its storytelling and overly serious tone.

Comparisons are made to Theron's earlier performance, noting Taylor-Joy's Furiosa lacks humor and depth.

'Furiosa' is scheduled for a theatrical release on May 24, 2024, with Warner Bros. aiming for success akin to past European festival debuts.
