Dwayne Johnson uncontrollably sobbed as the world premiere audience on the Lido chanted, cheered and screamed during a 15-minute standing ovation.

I will watch this when it comes out, albeit he was crying at the ovation (where have all the real men gone!

).
Variety have a review up as well, I think it was 4/5 stars, albeit I didn't read it.

Agreed. I'm usually the first one to stop clapping. For more than a minute is awkward but maybe it's just me!
