I Care A Lot movie review: Rosamund Pike nominated for a Golden Globe for fighting Peter Dinklage

Today Jay and Sean review the movie I Care A Lot, starring Golden Globe nominee Rosamund Pike and Peter Dinklage in this dark comedy.
A crooked legal guardian who drains the savings of her elderly wards meets her match when a woman she tries to swindle turns out to be more than she first appears.
Director: J Blakeson
Writer: J Blakeson
Stars: Rosamund Pike, Peter Dinklage, Eiza González, Dianne Wiest, Macon Blair, Chris Messina, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Alicia Witt
Marla cares a lot. SO much, or anyway that’s what she tells the judge. This poor little old lady can’t care for herself and her son’s unfit, so Marla (Rosamund Pike) will step in and be her court-appointed guardian, for a fair fee of course. This is how she makes her lavish living, by “caring” for old people she’s cherry-picked for being old but not too old, in relative good health so she can bilk them for a good, long time, with a sizable nest egg and not too many prying family members around to question her judgment. She colludes with doctors to identify these victims, and with care home directors where she’ll stash them while she sells their houses and all their worldly possessions. Many of these older people are of sound mind and body before Marla gets to them, but not for long. Kept restrained, drugged, isolated, and barely fed, Marla’s aged victims will soon appear to be as far gone as she’s claimed. Marla’s about to meet her match.
Jennifer (Dianne Wiest) seems like a perfect target - a retiree with bountiful assets and no known family. But Jennifer isn’t who she seems, as you may have guessed, and Marla’s in for a whole world of trouble. But Marla isn’t just a crook, she’s a tenacious crook, an entitled crook, and she won’t go down without a fight. And oh what a fight!
This movie starts off shocking you with the ugliness and abuse in the system, the vulnerability of the aged, the potential for corruption, but then good old fashioned greed inspires this story to spin wildly off the rails. It’s an entertaining if not particularly realistic watch. Rosamund Pike gives a committed performance, though it may remind you of her turn in Gone Girl where she also played a harmless looking blonde woman whose innocent smile hid her true nature. Marla is a ruthless conwoman. Director J Blakeson does villainy well, he makes it slick, he makes it glossy, and he makes us complicit.
I liked but didn’t love I Care A Lot; the script could have used a little more of that care, and the second half doesn’t quite live up to the promise of the first. The set-up is amazing but Blakeson doesn’t quite excel at this whole dark-comedy-satire-cum-wacky-violent-thriller thing. It’s a delicate balance, something the Coens have perfected but few others can truly pull off. Blakeson doesn’t quite have the courage to maintain his carefully crafted cynicism right up to the last scene. He flinches. I Care A Lot is still worthy of your attention, but I bet you’ll be able to spot both its flaws and its fun.
I Care A Lot release date is February 19 - it's available to stream now, on Amazon Prime in Canada and on Netflix in the USA.

Hi Jay and Sean. Hi Fudgie! We tried to watch this the other night but we only made it about halfway through. I really like these actors in other roles, but I kept thinking, "I don't care one bit about I Care A Lot."

I love the actors in this, but this movie was trash. I hated every character and nothing I wanted to happen did. Like, how is everyone so incompetent, stupid, bullheaded, and still that lucky? Awful.

Listen respectfully🥰🥰🥰 Happy 😁😁😁

[@GrandmaSandy]

I did see this movie already I thought it was pretty good for what it was had a lot of interesting twists and turns. Little bit unbelievable. But that’s what movies are to do to take us out of our lives and make us see something we can’t believe what we’re seeing. You know I’m in my 70s this movie made me pretty uncomfortable to the sense of what people can do and get away with. I am hoping this is not a common thing that happens out in the real world though hope this is totally make-believe. It seems like us is normal people have no choice in our lives anymore anyone can step in and destroy them. I repeat hope it’s make-believe
