14. Excellent write-up. And I don't know about the movie being "A Feminist Playbook";

like you I thought the women were portrayed realistically - they did what they had to do.

I too enjoyed the interplay between Max and Furiosa; he didn't act like a macho schmuck disregarding her obvious strengths, and she accepted his strength without relinquishing her own.

It was well directed I thought, with just the right amount of character intensity - for a Mad Max movie.
