      Florence Pugh said she loved her nude scenes in this film. Pugh reflected on her breakout role during an interview for Britain's ES Magazine and admitted the part "changed everything" for her. "I loved the fact she was naked all the time. At that point in my life, I had been made to feel shit about what I looked like and that film was perfect. There was no room for me to feel insecure."

    What a ruthless woman will do
    This film tells the story of a young woman who is sold into a loveless marriage with an older wealthy gentleman. She has a passionate affair with a servant of the house. The promise of a happier life eludes her, until she takes full control of the situation.

    Initially I thought the film was really about Macbeth's wife, but I soon learn that it is not the case. The title comes from the similar ruthlessness and cold bloodedness that the leading woman and Lady Macbeth have. It is engaging to see how Katherine transforms from a timid woman into a sociopathic woman who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. The pacing is a little slow, with artistic shots lasting 10 or even 20 seconds but does not really help story telling. Overall, the story is good and Katherine's character is very interesting.
