A true disrespect to Peter Dinklage as an actor. This movie has a lot of unrealistic scenarios.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For me personally a waste of time.When I saw the cast I thought it was going to be a great movie, even the trailer was interesting. The aesthetic is a fancy, pretty people, nice clothe but the characters are not well refined. Seems like a cheap product of fast consumption, the main topic of guardians abusing elders is like an excuse to the story. The main idea is to show a woman who can go against organized crime lead by her ambition that makes her cold? I just don't know. Is like a milk carton with a lost child picture on it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have turned off two films in my life. The first was "Irreversible", a film with the dubious accolade of having the longest rape scene in any film. The other was this. At least with Irreversible, 'that' scene was a) crucial to the plot, and b) not celebrated with high-tempo electronic background music. Unlike "I Care a Lot" where our protagonists are seen riffling through their latest victims beautiful home, finding things to sell, like some montage from a Tony Scott film. If the scene's intention was some sort of clever juxtaposition, then it failed. Felt more like lazy/tone-deaf production/direction.

There is nothing to celebrate in this film, and why Ros Pike would put her name to it i do not know. It is not clever social commentary, its a celebration of the abuse of the vulnerable. If you're the sort of person that likes to use "Gammon" or "Karen" as a perjorative, then you'll probably love it. For everyone else, dont waste your time.

To Rosamund Pike, you're better than this.… Expand

The entire "girl power" vibe this movie was giving off really makes you feel sorry for - well - women. How weak do you hvae to be that somebody had to craft a piece of garbage such as this to "empower" them.

And the whole lesbian thing has just so been done. Get over yourselves already - no one gives a crap.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is utter trash. Totally unlikable main character with scenarios created that are beyond implausible. If an allegedly ruthless Russian mobster has you at his mercy after you mess with his family there is not much chance you are walking away. The mobsters in this film are a joke. Honestly it could have been good but they made Marla too invincible to the point of ridiculousness. Do better.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is edgy for the sake of being edgy. It reminds me of the short angsty stories 15 year olds would write in their bedrooms at 3am pretending to be mature by setting such a pessimistic tone and having the characters be cruel for the sake of being cruel.

The introduction and the first half of the movie started off good, there seems to be a lot hinting towards a plot twist, however all your expectations are subverted in the last 20 minutes of the movie in a rushed, messy clean up that is ultimately incredibly unsatisfying. There is no one for you to root for, and the movie seems to be pushing you strongly to root for Marla despite her own deplorable actions. It seems to me that it wants to send a message of the extent of exploitation of elderly, vulnerable people by the terrible healthcare system we currently have, and it has succeeded. However, I felt that this has wasted so much potential of the characters. There is so many scenes pointing towards Jennifer being such a 'well read' and 'literate' woman, so there was an expectation that perhaps she could somehow work the system from within, but that expectation is swiftly crushed when it was revealed that she is no more than a sitting duck. If this was not frustrating enough, she has further worsened her own situation in such an illogical move, which makes it all the more frustrating to watch.
The main character, Marla, honestly feels like a Mary Sue as well, especially with how the plot seems to bend over backwards to make her succeed despite all odds. >Roman was shown as a powerful man with connections (the lawyer) and men that would work for her (the henchmen, who are obviously experienced and trained) but through sheer luck was Marla able to escape almost unscathed to make a grand return and stalking Roman's driver and infiltrating the building Roman resides in, in a move that you would expect to see from a spy movie rather than an amoral businesswoman. But she succeeds, again, obviously.

This movie called itself a black comedy, a satire, but it couldn't even get it's own genre right, nor is it funny in the slightest. I watched this in a room full of people and not a single person laughed.

Not to mention how aggressively the director pandered to the entire 'female empowerment' in the movie, it is not subtle, it is directly in our faces. Normally, writers would try to 'show, not tell' but no, this movie just had to spell it out in our faces, as if it cannot be more obvious.
The acting of the supposed 'misogynist men' in the movie seems intentionally terrible as well. When Mr Feldstrom appeared in the final scenes of the movie to shoot Marla, it feels to me like there is barely any emotional weight and his script felt lame and half-hearted. This makes me think that the director is intentionally trying to dismiss the cruel things Marla has done in order to sway the audience towards her, again.

Also, having such deplorable characters be written as lesbian seems to me like a half-hearted attempt at getting us to root for them, which honestly, is a terrible move in my opinion.

All in all, a terrible movie. It might have prompted dialogue on the abuse of elderly, but it is done in such an inorganic way it certainly fit the bill of satire. Now, if only it was funny.… Expand

The fact a writer, director, producer, and actors all took part in making this piece of garbage movie and no one stopped to think that they were creating the worst movie of all time is honestly astounding. The level of stupidity that was required to write this movie; to think a Russian mobster (who’s also sex trafficking- why ever they added that) would partner with a lady that is torturing his mom & tried to kill him (which by the way, you’re gonna tell me this girl managed to kidnap a Russian mobster, subdue all his guards, leave him on a trail, and somehow be appointed his guardian?) and not absolutely murder the sh*t out of her on sight? Not only was this movie written by a toothbrush, but the acting is absolutely awful. They literally said let’s get the wife from Gone Girl and make her a psycho scumbag nursing home scammer but make the actor absolutely suck during the whole thing and then add terion from game of thrones and we got a hit. No, the only hit you have is what I wanted to do to my TV with a baseball bat after watching this piece of trash. This movie is so bad I will never be able to watch game of thrones again, I may never even watch another movie again with the fear that something I watch could be 10% as bad as this movie. When I am on my death bed I will look back on the day I watched this movie and not only think how badly those two precious hours of my life were wasted on this movie, but I will likely wonder one last time how anyone could have created such a horrible, steaming piece of sh*t movie, and then I will die. Cause of death: sh*tty f*cling Netflix movie. Put it on my grave and arrest everyone involved in this movie down to the background characters with three seconds of screen time.… Expand

Really? All the disgusting humans in this movie are women and the ones trying to save their elderly relatives or making things right, showing signs or humanity are guys? What?

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie will leave you with the feeling of disgust. There's not significant payoff. This movie advertised its self as a movie where the protagonist, someone who enslaves and milks the elderly for money, eventually gets what she deserves after messing with the mother of a russian gangster. However, this is not the case at all. Instead, this movie tries to paint the protagonist as a strong lesbian woman who stands up to abusive men and is able to be successful in an unjust system. Just when you think these characters are heading to their demise, the protagonist and her girlfriend miraculously survive getting killed off, and actually end up better off. All these people taking advantage of the elderly become better off. The movie ends with the protagonist becoming a very "successful business woman". She ends up getting shot in the last scene, and I guess that should feel a bit satisfying if it wasn't for the fact that we were told earlier in the movie that she was not afraid to die. She didn't get to suffer at all or have any significant consequence to her actions. If you are masochist and enjoy no payoffs, you might enjoy this movie what it is.… Expand
