Resume: Florence Pugh

Florence Pugh, over the course of five films so far for Last Resort Films, has quickly become one of the biggest female stars the studio has to offer. She has found herself the recipient of 5 GRA nominations over 5 films for LRF, winning the Best Actress GRA in Season 14. For this latest edition of Resume, we will take a look at the filmography of this rapidly ascending young star....


















Season 8

The Tower
Director: Scott Cooper
Writer: Dwight Gallo


Budget: $28,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $30,000,013
Foreign Box Office: $28,121,093

Pugh quickly found herself with her first GRA nomination, for Best Supporting Actress, in her first film for the studio for her performance as the young wife of mass murderer Charles Whitman in the well-received film The Tower.


Season 9

One for the Ages
Director: Lasse Hallstrom
Writer: Chad Taylor

Just one season later, Pugh found herself in another well-received drama, the surprise box office hit One for the Ages. And just like the previous season, Pugh once again found herself nominated for a Best Supporting Actress GRA.


Season 11

Red Farm
Director: F. Javier Gutierrez
Writer: Billy Cruder


Budget: $28,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $26,313,904

In Season 11, Pugh took a break from GRA-nominated performances in hit dramas to co-star in the horror-thriller Red Farm. Unlike her previous films, critics were not kind to Red Farm and the film failed to turn a profit.


Season 14

A Lost Sense of Heaven
Director: Lynne Ramsay
Writer: Chad Taylor

Domestic Box Office: $27,804,022
Foreign Box Office: $13,100,798

Pugh returned to work with LRF in Season 14 with a vengeance, starring in the critically acclaimed drama A Lost Sense of Heaven. The film won three GRA trophies for its acting, including the Best Actress award for Pugh's performance.


Season 16

Oklahoma!
Director: Damien Chazelle
Writer: Chad Taylor



Budget: $68,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $148,683,112
Foreign Box Office: $217,006,956
Total Profit: $160,590,000



Next up for Florence was the female lead in the box office smash musical, Oklahoma! In addition to being a box office hit, the film was received strong reviews from critics and earned 6 GRA nominations (although none for Pugh, and the film failed to win in any of the categories).


Up Next: Pugh has Pulp in theaters tomorrow, and later this season she will find herself reuniting with writer Chad Taylor on a new film. After this season though, she currently has no films set for the next few seasons.
