Pugh knows how to bring a character who is deeply disconnected with reality alive, making it known by how she moves and speaks. From the very start, it is obvious that Dani is not happy with how her life is going, especially when she learns of the tragic fate of her family. Pugh is no stranger to taking on roles with disturbing pasts, but this specific role earned a lot of praise from critics because of her unsettling approach to Dani. However, when they finally reach their destination, they soon realize that things in the commune are not what they seem. When Dani confronts Christian about the Sweden trip, Christian, feeling guilty, decides to invite her. Pugh plays Dani Ardor, who was left traumatized after losing her sister and parents in a murder-suicide and is also in a rocky relationship with her boyfriend, Christian ( Jack Reynor). Written and directed by Ari Aster, who also helmed the critically acclaimed Hereditary, this folk horror follows a group of friends as they travel to Sweden to attend a midsummer festival. It definitely further introduced Pugh's range and proved that she can pull off different roles, no matter the genre.
However, this film showed that she can also take on a comedic character that still has that dramatic element tied to it.
Pugh's roles before Fighting with My Family were mostly serious in nature, already having proven her acting skills in the drama department incredibly well.
LADY MACBETH FLORENCE PUGH PROFESSIONAL
With Zak gone, Paige finds herself alone and having to work with other trainees who are mostly models and is faced with a challenge of learning what she is capable of as a professional wrestler. The siblings join the WWE and are evaluated by Hutch Morgan, who later chooses Paige to train and forces Zak to go back home. The film follows Paige (Pugh) who, alongside her brother Zak, were raised to follow the footsteps of their parents as wrestlers. This 2019 British comedy film directed by Stephen Merchant is based on the life of retired professional wrestler Saraya "Paige" Knight and her journey toward that career. The acclaim that Pugh has gotten for this performance is no surprise. Her rage, for the longest time, has been bottled up and once it finally bursts out, one can see - and even feel - everything that surges through Katherine, which is also thanks to Ari Wegner's careful and intentional approach to Katherine's close-ups. She was able to communicate her emotions just by her eyes, whether it be a spark of happiness, anger, desperation, or serenity. Pugh's ability to portray a character who is clearly unsatisfied with her colorless life was what made critics define this as her breakout role. This gives Katherine the freedom to properly explore the estate. When her husband, Alexander Lester, has to leave for business matters, Katherine is left at home with the housemaid, Anna. Based on Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District novella by Nikolai Leskov, this 2016 drama film adaptation set in 19th Century England follows Katherine Lester (Pugh), a woman stuck in a loveless marriage to a man twice her age.
