Netflix users have just a fortnight left to stream one of Florence Pugh’s breakout films before it’s taken down.
This might be your final opportunity to view it at no additional charge if you’re already a member, so don’t let this chance slip by.
Currently featuring in the Marvel smash hit Thunderbolts*, Pugh’s career has soared recently due to her roles in Oppenheimer, Midsommar and Little Women.
However, prior to her big Hollywood roles, she started off with a series of smaller but equally remarkable indie films, such as Lady Macbeth and the horror flick Malevolent.
Directed by The Office star Stephen Merchant and based on the uplifting tale of Norwich-born wrestler Saraya Bevis, aka Paige, this heartening drama charts her journey to WWE success from modest beginnings.
As Paige’s career flourishes, her brother Zak Zodiac (portrayed by Jack Lowden) grapples with her newfound fame.
Although Fighting with My Family may not be as renowned as some of Pugh’s more recent successes, it has garnered a devoted cult following and is definitely worth a watch before it departs from Netflix.
The cast of the hit film also includes British icons Lena Headey and Nick Frost, as well as the star power of Vince Vaughn and Dwayne Johnson.
One aficionado’s five-star Google review poured out enthusiasm: “Honestly obsessed with this film.
“Watched it about 10 times! So good to see a film about the youngest ever divas champion. The siblings in this film bring me to tears.”
Another elated cinephile expressed their thrill: “One of the most inspiring movies I’ve ever seen. I thought the story of Paige journey was told exceptionally well – laughs and moments where you want to reach in the screen and hug some of the characters.
“I found myself literally screaming and cheering Paige at some points in the film. Truly a great movie and story! So proud of that woman!”
On Letterboxd, one reviewer was moved: “It will make you laugh until you cry, cry until you have no tears left, and it will make you want to hug your loved ones and never let go.
“Also can’t write this review without mentioning that Florence Pugh shines like the sun in everything she dips her toes in, she is so incredible and I could watch her do anything for any length of time. I’m in such awe when I watch her.”
Another individual branded the film earnestly: “extremely heartwarming, inspiring, funny and just all around fantastic!!!!”
Ensure you prioritise watching Fighting With My Family before it departs from the streaming platform in a mere few weeks.
Fighting With My Family is available on Netflix until Monday, 23rd June.
