WhatCulture Says: "Its rare that a summer blockbuster is deserving of a five-star rating. Many can provide a fun time at the movies, but few offer anything in the way of meaningful subtext or genuinely investible emotions; simply, anything to turn them into art. Mad Max: Fury Road is that exception, a transcendence of its literal B-Movie origins into something thoughtful, exhilarating and, most prominently, beautiful. Its right at home among the more arthouse fare of Cannes and deserves to be warmly welcomed into the multiplex." Read the full review
