    Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

    As much as this score bangs, which it unequivocally does, it’s the parts with no music that make this so special. During one particular moment close to the end, two characters share a stare with each other, scored by nothing but the sounds of motor engines and their own bated breath, and it is magnificent.

Dynamic performances, most notably from Cush Jumbo who really blew me away, I’ll definitely keep an eye on her future work. Overall, one I really enjoyed and would highly recommend.

    Also, major props to TIFF Lightbox, really great place to catch a film if you’re in the area or if you’re a movie nerd in general.
