Though Florence Pugh has only been a recognized movie star for about five years, she has made substantial strides in establishing her reputation. With the upcoming release of Thunderbolts*, Pugh is poised for one of the most significant moments in her career. If your only exposure to Pugh is within the Marvel universe, we have several other films you should certainly explore.
While Pugh has starred in some major films, we've focused on recommending titles that may be less well-known. The good news is that no matter which Pugh film you choose, you’re likely to witness an impressive performance from her, even if the film itself has its shortcomings.
Don’t Worry Darling (2022)
Don’t Worry Darling gained more attention for its off-screen controversies, yet Pugh shines in full movie star mode. Opinions on the film may vary, but it's definitely worth viewing to appreciate the depth Pugh brings, even in the film’s more absurd moments.
The movie centers on a 1950s housewife who begins to suspect that something is seriously amiss with her surroundings. It's a powerful performance by Pugh, showcasing her talent to uplift even less impressive material.
You can find Don’t Worry Darling on Amazon Prime Video.
Fighting with My Family (2019)
Long before Pugh entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she was showcasing her readiness for physically demanding roles in Fighting with My Family. The film recounts the true story of Paige (played by Pugh), a female wrestler from a wrestling family, who gets a chance to audition for the WWE.
As she steps away from the familiar comfort of her family, Paige must demonstrate her suitability for the upper echelons of wrestling. Pugh delivers an outstanding performance, complemented by strong supporting roles from Vince Vaughn, Nick Frost, and Jack Lowden.

Lady Macbeth (2016)
Pugh's role in Lady Macbeth catapulted her to A-list status, where she portrays a newlywed woman ensnared by the monotony of managing her husband’s estate.
When he leaves for business, she embarks on a passionate affair with one of his grooms, leading to her life spiraling out of control as the affair faces potential exposure. True to the film's title, Pugh is far from a passive character; her performance is laced with a sense of menace that clearly indicates she was destined for stardom.
You can view Lady Macbeth on Amazon Prime Video.
