Taylor-Joy, along with costar Chris Hemsworth and director George Miller, attended the buzzy Cannes Film Festival to screen the latest Mad Max film. The audience reportedly gave the big-budget action film an impressive six-minute standing ovation, which prompted Taylor-Joy to blow kisses and take a bow and Hemsworth to get teary-eyed.

“Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” will be released in the U.S. on May 24 and is the prequel to 2015’s “Mad Max: Fury Road,” which also debuted at Cannes. The new film follows the story of Furiosa, played in the prior movie by Charlize Theron.
