I had been hearing about this film for some time. Glad to finally catch it. This was really interesting. I'm so confused here, because I want to call every single character except the maid the bad guy.

This thing had me picking up my jaw from the floor from time to time. The main character is such an interesting and frightening force. No wonder Florence Pugh was such an instant star.

A period piece about basically a serial killer, dominated by the beautiful, uber-talented Florence Pugh.

A Good Movie To Watch

Lady Macbeth seems to begin as one thing — a gloomy period tale of oppression and feminist rebellion — but, on the strength of Pugh’s performance, pivots into an even bleaker subversion of that initial impression.

Nashville Scene

This film will not make you happy, but you will feel a lot of emotions. With this performance, then-20-year-old Pugh let the world know up front she was going to be running things.

Thirty, Flirty + Film

Ackie plays the constant terror of being volleyed back and forth between sadistic white noblemen and women with terrifying calm. In truth, this is really her movie.
