WHAT IT S ABOUT:
A woman who makes her living by stealing from the elderly while serving as their legal guardian bites off more than she can chew when her latest victim comes with some extra baggage.
WHAT WE THOUGHT:
This review for
I Care A Lot can be summarised in two words – Rosamund Pike. She is such a force in this film that everything else is almost diminished in comparison. She glides her way through the film with her razor-sharp bob, and her vape pen never far from her mouth, to transfix us in a world that seems both plausible and completely bonkers.

STORY: Marla Grayson (Rosamund Pike) is a state-appointed guardian for the elderlyin America.But the lady’s a hustler – “I am a lioness,” she justifies – and is always on the lookout for a cash cow she can rip off over their wealth. But the latest catch – called ‘a cherry’ in the world of guardianship swindling – is a tough nut to crack. Yes, Jennifer Peterson (Dianne Wiest) is more than meets one’s eyes and her loved one wreak havoc to bring her home. Why the war over this decaying person?
