Films in this playlist

1. Midsommar — Ari Aster · 2019. Pugh’s performance is a masterclass in grief becoming physical, social, and finally mythic.
2. Lady Macbeth — William Oldroyd · 2016. Her breakout shows how stillness can feel more dangerous than explosion.
3. A Woman Under the Influence — John Cassavetes · 1974. A must-study for any actor interested in vulnerability without neatness or polite realism.
4. Persona — Ingmar Bergman · 1966. A film about the face, silence, identity, and the terrifying intimacy of being watched.
5. Little Women — Greta Gerwig · 2019. Pugh’s Amy turns a character often dismissed as spoiled into a study of survival, timing, and self-awareness.
