Yahoo News Charlize Theron shares her reaction to Furiosa
Charlize Theron has offered her thoughts on Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, describing it as "amazing" and "beautiful".
The action film, the fifth in the Mad Max franchise, serves as a prequel to 2015's Fury Road, with Anya Taylor-Joy playing a younger version of Furiosa.
Theron, who starred as Furiosa opposite Tom Hardy in Fury Road, offered her thoughts on the latest film in the franchise while attending an event for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, where she lauded the work of director George Miller.

"It's amazing - it's a beautiful film," she told The Hollywood Reporter, before speaking about her relationship with Taylor-Joy.
"No," she said when asked if the pair had spent time together. "We've really been trying to connect. It's been one of those - we can actually make a comedy out of it.
"We keep running into each other and in places when we don't have time to really talk to each other, so we're constantly like, 'Oh my god, OK, let's get together!' And then life takes over. But it will happen when it's right."
Theron wasn't the only person to praise Furiosa, with the film receiving critical acclaim upon its release. Her sense of awe was shared by star Tom Burke, with the actor revealing that he "couldn't believe" he was personally selected for the role of Praetorian Jack by Miller.

"He only told me that a few days ago, I didn't know that," said Burke. "I mean, I knew he'd gone, 'That guy', in some way or another but yeah, I didn't know he'd stopped looking. I can't quite believe I'm here. I just look at the [poster] and I'm in that movie. That's amazing.
"I felt like - not to big up my own [character], it was more about responsibility than anything else - that was very key to the story working," he added about his character's relationship with Furiosa. "It was actually nice to be worrying about that rather than how one plays a certain kind of genre."
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is available on demand now and on DVD / Blu-ray on August 12.
