A woman has revealed the lengths her mother went to to get her childhood bully off her back.

And they’re not gratuitous. They’re perfect. And Florence is just amazing.” The actor went on to praise Pugh’s performance, saying: “I think she’s f***ing phenomenal. She has this presence as a person and on screen that is staggering. “The impact she has for the size of the role, it’s quite devastating.” Meanwhile, Oppenheimer has sparked controversy in India over a sex scene referencing the Hindu holy book Bhagavad Gita.
