The latest installment in George Miller’s celebrated action franchise debuted Wednesday night.

I think the Cannes crowd are a strange bunch anyway. They gave Dial of Destiny a 5-minute standing ovation, so make of that what you will. (PS I though DoD was great but a standing ovation!?)

      I mean if it was gonna happen anywhere, a film festival probably makes the most sense

      Maybe some of those who made the film were there? That’s the only reason I can think of but 7 minutes is just dumb.

        So <1min standing ovation I can get, just appreciating the time and effort. But when it gets to be 5+ min it gives me big celebrity cult worship vibes and to me that’s a negative to others maybe a positive I suppose

          Got it. Yeah the duration definitely adds an element of oddity. I have never really been comfortable witnessing that long of an ovation.
