Riveting duels with great choreography that even a layman like me can appreciate, and an entertaining and suspenseful story that explores the theme of honor from all sides and is actually contemporary despite the time it takes place. Vincent Pérez is as excellent a director as he is an actor, and his villain has charisma to spare, and Roschdy Zem is his equal. If you like Ridley Scott's The Duellists, The Edge of the Blade is especially for you.

I'm more than pleasantly surprised. I liked the fact that the film teetered on the edge of serious and quite deliberately crazy until the end, that its director was able to create a decently dense atmosphere and that he wasn't afraid of the ecological subtext, which was given a wonderful twist in the unexpected – but great – finale. A sequel is probably not necessary, but on the other hand, why not give it a try.

Not to repeat himself, George Miller went about it differently this time and decided to focus on what he didn't have time for last time, and we get to know the characters and the world better. But that doesn't mean there's no action. There is action, and what kind of action. The first act alone puts most recent action movies to shame, and it's still just getting started. In short, Furiosa is an excellent film, with a great Anya Taylor-Joy, who actually enters the scene perhaps somewhere in the middle, and a perfect villain played by Chris Hemsworth. I absolutely love it when actors use make-up to help them become someone else entirely, and Hemsworth has done just that to perfection. He's erratic, insane (how else), but he's also hilarious and, in his own way, ridiculous as he speeds through the desert on his post-apocalyptic tricycle. He clearly enjoyed the filming, and I enjoyed the result.
