I Care A Lot

POSITIVES…

  • Fascinating premise. The fact that the scam presented in this film is actually something that happens in the real world is a horrible thing. Horrible thing. 

  • The narrative purposefully makes you feel conflicted with how you want the movie to conclude, but it was definitely compelling and engaging. 

  • Rosamund Pike is phenomenal as Marla Grayson. She really brings her despicably capable strong-willed character to life. She is the reason to see this movie. 

  • Dianne Wiest is spectacular as Jennifer Peterson, and her scenes with Rosamund Pike are great. 

  • Peter Dinklage. Excellent actor. What’s not to like about him? 

  • Eiza González is excellent in this as Fran, and brings a good balance to Pike’s character. 

  • The scene where Dean Ericson, played fantastically by Chris Messina, has a talk with Marla Grayson is just perfect. 

  • “Let’s just say you’ll not be comfortable, or uncomfortable ever again.” 

  • There aren't a lot of action sequences in this movie, but the one they did have was pretty exciting. 

  • More scenes with Rosamund Pike and Peter Dinklage please.

NEGATIVES…

  • It’s a movie that’s mostly filled with detestable individuals. I mean, who do you root for? 

  • Some conveniences and liberties taken that cheapens the story a bit. 

  • A couple of plot details that kinda just didn’t make sense to me at all. 

  • I get a hint of some war of the sexes theme here within the story, that I didn’t particularly think was necessary. 

  • There are people who will take away the wrong message from this film.

  • Wasn’t completely satisfied with the conclusion.
