10 Must See Florence Pugh Films

British native Florence Pugh is one of Hollywood’s top actresses right now, and for good reasons. The star earned an Oscar nomination for her role in “Little Women” by Greta Gerwig, but she has plenty of other underrated roles that showcase her fantastic acting skills. The self-made actress was discovered through an open audition for the British flick “The Falling,” in which she co-starred with Maisie Williams. After that, her career skyrocketed. She often takes on roles that show just how complex young women are and the struggles they face in society.

Playing the leading lady in the feminist take on Lady Macbeth also earned her accolades and turned her into a BAFTA nominee. If you’re a fan of Florence Pugh, these projects are a must-see.

1. Don’t Worry Darling

Directed by Olivia Wilde, this film is about women who challenge societal norms and the criticism they’ve dealt with through a psychological thriller lens. The internet went crazy over the trailer, which showed the unlikely pairing of Pugh with Harry Styles. We don’t want to give too much away with this insanely creative movie.

2. Lady MacBeth

Despite the name, this movie isn’t really based on a Shakespeare play. Instead, the title suggests the nature of the main character — a woman who has an affair with a man who’s working on her husband’s estate. The whole story gets slightly twisted when Pugh’s character, Catherine, pursues an unhinged kind of revenge. Pugh has made a name for herself when it comes to feminist rage and cult horror, and this movie is no exception.

3. Little Women

Pugh plays Jo’s little sister Amy in this movie, and she’s quite different from the protagonist, with a focus on winning her independence one day. During a media interview, Pugh explained that the film gave Amy a more significant role than the original “Little Women,” and she makes it her own with a performance that pays tribute to Amy’s true character as a feminist.

4. Midsommer

Often regarded as Pugh’s best indie role and the movie that launched her from indie to mainstream, Midsommer is a film that seems quite normal at first before it turns into a surprising horror movie. Pugh plays an American named Dani, who attends a Midsommer festival alongside her boyfriend.
