‘Lady Macbeth’ Star Florence Pugh on ‘Awesome,’ ‘Dangerous’ Title Role

Director William Oldroyd’s “Lady Macbeth” offers up a stark portrayal of the stifling, restrictive life for even privileged women of Britain’s Golden Years and how, in attempting to break free, a young woman brings destruction down upon herself and her household.
Based on the 1865 novel “Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District” by Nikolai Leskov but transplanted to Victorian England, the film sees Florence Pugh in the lead role of Katherine, recently married by arrangement into a wealthy, highly controlling family. To escape the soul crushing boredom, Katherine pursues a risky affair, leading to increasingly bloody actions and, eventually, her undoing.

Will there ever be a sequel to this ? I was enjoying the movie and felt that the story ended too soon.

No. She, Katherine, is not bad. She must survive. She is always two steps ahead and must be. All of the cast were amazing.
