The fifth installment of the Mad Max franchise, this film follows Furiosa and almost two decades of her life before her introduction in Mad Max: Fury Road (2015). Following her kidnapping by the warlord Dementus, she must survive the war that breaks out between his Biker Horde and the forces of The Immortan Joe.
Empire by John Nugent
The chassis may look familiar but there is a very different engine driving Furiosa from that of Fury Road: it’s a rich, sprawling epic that only strengthens and deepens the Max-mythology. It shall ride eternal!
IGN by Lex Briscuso
It’s hard to overstate how immaculately crafted Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is, both as a prequel to Max Max: Fury Road and as a stand-alone story of how the Wasteland created a powerful character.
The Independent by Geoffrey Macnab
Director George Miller combines speed, grace and explosive violence, emulating Sam Peckinpah westerns and even, at times, the work of Charles Dickens – Furiosa is a bit like a young Artful Dodger, using her wits and courage to stay alive.
Slashfilm by BJ Colangelo
Not only does it stand on its own as a masterful action-adventure blockbuster, but it also exemplifies Miller's thesis as a whole: that survival "in extremis" reveals the true essence of a person. "Fury Road" is an even better movie because of "Furiosa," and George Miller has gifted the world with his magnum opus. Witness him.
The Telegraph by Robbie Collin
The film may handle differently to its predecessor, but it’s clearly been tuned by the same engineers. After the pared-down drag racer, here comes the juggernaut.
NME by Lou Thomas
Brilliant and unmissable.
Consequence by Liz Shannon Miller
The strengths of Furiosa do not eclipse Fury Road, to be clear, nor does the latter film shine as far superior. Instead, they really are two pieces of the same puzzle, different in their scope but connected not just by characters, but by ethos and aesthetic. It’s the ultimate double-feature, and afterwards, you’re gonna want to drive fast.
RogerEbert.com by Robert Daniels
Miller isn’t here for tawdry melodrama, algorithmic plotting, or art designed for the small screen. “Furiosa” aims to blow you away. And it does. To Valhalla and beyond.
Observer by Emily Zemler
Miller is an undeniable storyteller and filmmaker, and Furiosa is an epic, world-building creation imbued with its own vast mythology and expansive scope.
The Seattle Times
Take-no-prisoners storytelling, the work of a master storyteller.
