Career
During her 17th year, she auditioned and was chosen to play one of the main roles in the 2014 film called The Falling. Maisie Williams stars as Lydia Lamont in the main role, with Florence playing Abigail Mortimer, Lydia’s closest friend. At the box office, the mystery drama film funded by the BBC received positive reviews. The film’s independent nature caused it to not be widely distributed and result in a disastrous box office performance.
Playing a key role in her first film catapulted Florence towards fame on her first attempt at auditioning for a screen role. The critics were impressed with her performance as a precocious teenager, even though she was only 18 when the film was released. Her performance was hailed as “remarkable,” and she received a nomination for a BFI London Film Festival Award for Best British Newcomer and the Young British/Irish Performer of the Year at the London Film Critics’ Circle.
In 2015, she played a significant role in the initial episode of Studio City’s television series, which was never broadcast.

Katherine Lester was played by her in the movie. Both the Toronto International Film Festival and the Sundance Film Festival hosted the premiere of the film.
The action thriller ‘The Commuter’ was her debut film in 2018. Her role as Gwen in the film was a supporting one, and it garnered a moderate critical and big commercial success. Elizabeth de Burgh was one of the key roles she played in the historical action drama film Outlaw King in 2018. The movie debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival and received mixed critical response upon its release in theaters.
In 2019, she portrayed English professional wrestler Saraya Knight as the main character in the sports drama film called ‘Fighting with My Family’. The film produced by Stephen Merchant was a major success both critically and commercially.
In the same year, she also played a highly acclaimed role in the period drama film Little Women. Greta Gerwig was the director of the film, which features Florence as Amy March. The film was a major success both critically and commercially, and Florence was nominated for six Academy Awards. For her outstanding performance in the film, she was awarded a BAFTA Award.
The popular comedy and romantic film series Father of the Bride saw her appearance in its fifth installment in 2020. In September 2020, the film was released on Netflix.
In the 2021 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Black Widow, Florence played the role of Yelena Belova, a kind of sister figure to Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, a fictional character played by Scarlett Johansson.
