I Care a Lot (2020)

Jack and I really liked this glossy comedic caper about a woman who bilks elderly people out of their life savings using her wits and charm. It starts out as a boomer horror story and takes a turn from there.

Rosamund Pike won the the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for the lead role of Marla. Supporting cast includes Eiza González as Marla's accomplice Fran, Dianne Wiest as one of their marks Jennifer, and Peter Dinklage as Roman. I'm not going to spoil it by telling you who Roman is.

Director/writer J Blakeson is new to me but has other credits in both fields. Imdb does have a long list of goofs, so, remember, it's not a documentary.

Marc Canham's exciting score can be streamed on Apple Music and Spotify.

Pike was last blogged for A United Kingdom, Wiest for Let Them All Talk, and Dinklage for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Gonzalez was in Baby Driver and Welcome to Marwen, though I didn't mention her.

Wow, Rotten Tomatoes' critics are a bit less caring than we are, averaging 80%, but its audiences really don't give a darn at 37.

It was made for Netflix and we streamed it there a couple of days ago.
