Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

Writer's picture: Gus KellerGus Keller


Furiosa is a revenge odyssey with surprising intimacy. Its symbolism, setup/payoff, and growth support an emotional foundation. This is embodied in the motivated and evolving (though a bit one-dimensional) characters. Its story is burdened by a heavy plot but never loses sight of its humanity. There are upsetting themes of survival, environmentalism, exploitation, and grief. Because these ideas are so primal, they synergize perfectly with the drama. There's also campy world-building, refreshing levity, and consistent suspense. Plus, the acting deepens all this through exaggeration, intensity, layers, and expressive body language. Consequently, Furiosa is a fulfilling epic.


Furiosa has maximalist details, choreography, and tones. Its effects blend elaborate practicals with atmospheric CGI for surreal severity. Color, motion, depth, angles, and lighting fuel the imagery's picturesque clarity. Its casting places stars in against-type yet fitting roles. The sound is dense with heightened distortions and rich action. Despite being less recognizable, its music provides strong moods, restraint, and tempo. A unique combination of large-scale aesthetics makes for a truly immersive production design. Its editing offers powerful momentum through chapters, frame rates, dissolves, inserts, montages, and precise pacing. Overall, Furiosa is a premium blast.
