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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 23, 2024

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?

I CARE A LOT IS AWESOME

| Jul 26, 2023

Within the world of I Care a Lot, a woman and a diminutive man represent the most fearsome predators, putting a deliberate emphasis on how it’s not sinew and brawn that determines one’s position on the contemporary food chain, but wealth and ruthlessness.

| Jul 24, 2023

Packed with clever analogies to real-life capitalism, J Blakeson transmits impactful messages about the power of authority, excessive ambition, and the moral compromises one makes to gain wealth and success at the cost of other people's freedom.

| Original Score: A- | Jul 24, 2023

It moves at a slick pace, features characters in aviator sunglasses and a doomed anti-heroine who becomes wrapped up with larger-than-life crime lords. All movies should be this entertaining.

It is never positive when you argue that something would be more enjoyable if you didn’t really focus on it and I don’t think that I Care a Lot deserves a passing grade simply because of the way that it is likely to be consumed.

| Original Score: C- | Feb 7, 2023

I Care a Lot's story is fresh and really unconventional. It’s a nasty crime film that manages to be completely compassion-free. Pike is sensational here.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 11, 2022

I Care a Lot balances biting social satire with brutal black humor to devilishly delicious effect, all while Rosamund Pike anchors the entire absurd affair with astonishing control and commitment.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 1, 2022

Pike’s brilliantly hellish lack of compassion is burned into every scene, at least in the film’s first half. But then it takes its turn into something far less interesting and much harder to buy.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 17, 2022

It's fascinating to watch someone like Marla move through the world with zero shame, tons of blind ambition and unrelenting, frequently reckless, belief in themselves.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 26, 2022

I Care a Lot couldve been such a fun evil movie, but unfortunately, because it fell into the Bury Your Gays trope at the very last second, some queer women probably won't see it.

| Original Score: B | Apr 4, 2022

Pike gives a fabulous performance as Marla, elevating her beyond caricature or negative stereotypes, while Dinklage proves himself again one of the most interesting and talented actors yet working.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 13, 2022

The ending will most likely be divisive due to the way it handles Pikes character. Nevertheless, I Care a Lot is a film that takes risks at all the right moments.

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Mar 7, 2022

A scathing critique of a ruthless system, I Care A Lot is too cold blooded to worm its way into your affections and loses its way in the final act. Nevertheless, thanks to a stellar lead its a bleak treat for those who love to revel in darkness.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 1, 2022

I Care a Lot isn't a film about the criminals you love to hate - it's about the criminals you just plain hate.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 17, 2022

I Care A Lot is a mixed bag of genres. The beginning is rather violent and hard to watch. As pointed out already, it touches on and provokes conversation regarding legal guardianship and its widespread abuse of elders for money and power.

| Original Score: B | Feb 11, 2022

If the film itself doesn't care to deliver on its own promise, it's hard to imagine why we should care at all.

| Dec 17, 2021

I Care A Lot presents Marla as a villainess worthy of the reaction previously reserved for Amy Dunne, but does not bother to give her sufficient motivation.
