“The relationship between Max and Furiosa is a thing of beauty, and occupies a category all its own in the history of cinematic pairings. 

The dialogue is as sparse as water or greenery in Miller’s ravaged wasteland — but, though we’re never told, we understand that Hardy’s Max isn’t so much mad as hurting. So is Theron’s character, and each offers the other something that will always be too scarce in this world — compassion.” (X)
