Thriller. Drama. Comedy The ice-cool Marla Grayson (Rosamund Pike) is one such unscrupulous profiteer. Having made a mint selling off the assets of the dozens of retirees trapped in her permanent care, she and her partner Fran (Eiza González) stumble upon a veritable golden goose in the form of Jennifer Peterson (Dianne Wiest), a mark with no apparent family or debt, only a tidy fortune to be mined. But, while applying their scam, Marla and Fran soon discover ... [+]

	Media	Author	Review
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"[Rosamund Pike] resurrects the icy menace of her Gone Girl performance in a darkly comic and bracingly nasty tale"
		Kate Erbland IndieWire	"A full, bloody meal of a film for anyone intrigued by the allure of anti-heroes."
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"Marla might be the perfect villainous antihero for the age of Trump (...) The movie delivers unquestionable pleasures in the pairing of Pike's monstrous manipulator with the always wonderful Dinklage's"
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Sadly, as the film builds to its final showdown, I Care A Lot becomes increasingly preachy about greed and capitalism, reducing the characters to mouthpieces for Blakeson’s not terribly interesting themes."
		Marshall Shaffer The Playlist	"No one ever quite matches the unrivaled brilliance of Pike when given a clear runway to strut her skills (...) Seeing her in peak form (...) is an absolute delight"
		David Crow Den of Geek	"Not since Gone Girl has Rosamund Pike been so perilously irresistible (...) Part of the movie’s virtue is that no character is particularly likable, even as they’re all eminently watchable."
		Matt Goldberg Collider	"Sometimes we don’t have an appetite for what’s nice, and sometimes the best way to look at the awfulness of the world is through a stylized, satiric lens. That’s what Blakeson gives us with I Care a Lot"
		Steve Pond The Wrap	"'I Care a Lot' is amusing, if you have a liberal definition of that word (...) It also sets out to provoke you, and to ask one final question: Can you enjoy this movie and not feel bad about yourself afterwards?
		Andrew Parker The Gate	"[A] sunny looking but coal mine dark comedy (...) The message Blakeson offers amid all the wackiness about the corrupt nature of guardianship and care home mismanagement offers a timely and thoughtful undercurrent."
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"Rosamund Pike and Peter Dinklage are riveting (...) Blakeson’s dialogue has a witty subversive snap"
		Peter Travers ABC News	"Nobody cares in 'I Care a Lot', a scathing, suspenseful, shockingly funny sendup of our money-trumps-morals culture (...) Fair warning: This hot-button black comedy doesn't just sizzle, it stings"
		Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"The promising satire then shifts to a typical thriller with bloody shoot-outs, druggings, tazings and a car dramatically plummeting off a cliff. That business wears thin fast (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
