Poised with sharklike self-assurance, Marla Grayson (Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike) is a professional, court-appointed guardian for dozens of elderly wards whose assets she seizes and cunningly bilks through dubious but legal means. It's a well-oiled racket that Marla and her business-partner and lover Fran (Eiza González) use with brutal efficiency on their latest "cherry," Jennifer Peterson (two-time Academy Award winner Dianne Wiest) -- a wealthy retiree with no living heirs or family. But when their mark turns out to have an equally shady secret of her own and connections to a volatile gangster (Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage), Marla is forced to level up in a game only predators can play -- one that's neither fair, nor square.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A searing swipe at late-stage capitalism, I Care A Lot is an exhilarating pitch black comedy with a wicked performance from Rosamund Pike.

Audience Says

Rosamund Pike and Peter Dinklage do good work, but they're acting in a dark and ugly story that doesn't give the audience anyone to root for.

It is refreshingly pungent, and as the engine of a crime plot with some truly outrageous twists, Pike gives an outstandingly nasty performance worthy of major attention. Go to Full Review Elamin Abdelmahmoud BuzzFeed News 12/17/2021
If the film itself doesn't care to deliver on its own promise, it's hard to imagine why we should care at all. Go to Full Review Guy Lodge Film of the Week 03/23/2021
Filmmaking this perversely amoral is never going to be a crowdpleaser, and early responses have been aggressively divided, but I Care a Lot isn't out to be liked: like the best con artists, it gets you caught up in its strut. Go to Full Review Jillian Chilingerian Offscreen With Jillian 08/22/2023
I Care A Lot gives us a reality check we haven't had in a while that will leave us wondering: who are the Marlas of the world? Go to Full Review Elissa Suh Moviepudding (Substack) 08/21/2023

orpo P @Oliori 3d Dont watch, movie is infuriating. I made accont just to review this movie. See more Mathew F @Mathew55 5d I dont like that movies like this are even made when the fact that things like this happen to real people all the time. Glad she got what she deserved in the end but she should have been torn in to little pieces and killed slowly by the mob for doing horrible things to elderly people. Was entertaining but did NOT like the story line See more Tamara K @RT40370585 Apr 29 The only thing good about the film is watching the main character die at the end. See more V K @Velociraptor18 Apr 22 What a waste of time and patience to get to the end of something that promises but does not deliver. I do not understand what the lesson is or the message here. Useless nonsense. If you VALUE your time, avoid it at all costs! See more Alejandro G @RT89395934 Apr 20 was a major disappointment. The acting, especially by the lead characters, felt forced and unconvincing, making it hard to connect with any of the characters. Furthermore, the ending was deeply unsatisfying, leaving too many plot points unresolved. Overall, the film felt tonally disjointed, and the inclusion of a romantic subplot didn’t add depth; it just felt out of place. See more Justin S @RT77558818 Apr 18 Terrible movie 2 women trying to represent what "women" can do for society? By ripping off our seniors? Does that represent women? Is that what women do? Just exploit seniors for money terrible film. Glad she got shot at the end. See more Read all reviews
