10 Films Every Florence Pugh Fan Must Watch (2 of 5)

Midsommer

Pugh’s haunted Dani in Midsommar ignited her stardom. This sun-drenched horror flick isn’t just about startling audiences out of their seat; it’s a raw study of grief and intimacy, twisting Dani’s fragile hope into chilling madness. Even those who typically take a hard pass on scary movies found Pugh’s performance captivating, earning critical acclaim that launched her from indie darling to mainstream icon.

The Falling

Pugh’s first leading role came in The Falling, in which she played Abbie, a rebellious teen defying the stifling confines of a 1960s boarding school. Her eyes blaze with both vulnerability and defiance, her spirit a spark igniting hysteria through the halls. Always captivating and often infuriating, her character is a whirlwind of teenage passion and rebellion tearing through the film’s claustrophobic world.
