LADY MACBETH

(2016) 15 ◆ 11.15PM, BBC2 ★★★★ Florence Pugh made a big impression in this smart, daring and subversive period drama, an adaptation of an 1865 Russian novella by Nikolai Leskov. Pugh is the young woman sold into a loveless marriage, who, unlike so many Victorian heroines, refuses to submit to her lot.
