Anya Taylor-Joy's "Furiosa" Earns Standing Ovation at Cannes Premiere
May 16, 2024Anya 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.
