I Care a Lot

The main character is unspeakably evil and the writer/director spends the whole movie glorifying her. I've never seen a movie that made me Physically I'll before.

This Marla character is just pure vile evil, in a bad way, nothing cunning or intelligent. The plot holes are just too annoying to ignore, it edges to simply terrible filmmaking. Acting is top notch, though, but the story and "non-antagonist antihero" aspect fail miserably.

Rosamunde Pike plays a ruthless caretaker who cons old ladies. That's the start of the story. Quite a promising start, BUT...

The bad: soon into the story, several plot turns were not very credible. And more and more plot turns afterwards became increasingly NOT CREDIBLE AT ALL, to the point that I just couldnt take it seriously any more.

This movie is not meant to be a full on comedy, perhaps it was meant to be a dark kind of humor, but even then there still needs to be some sort of a credibility to the story. Unfortunately there was NONE.

Not any good? The start is good. The acting by Dianne Wiest is excellent. Rosamund Pike however fails at portraying a believable character, because the plot and dialogue are simply completely SILLY and UNBELIEVABLE.

Rosamund Pike's gleefully ruthless performance makes this film watchable. Peter Dinklage is excellent in his role as well and is a good foil for Pike's character. This film is pretty much always moving and entertaining, it just runs into some real lack of believability near the end. The entire premise is a bit shaky to believe, but the ending really goes overboard. It's also pretty hard to root for anyone in this movie because all the characters are so horrible and not super fleshed out. This film is worth a watch for the performances, just don't expect to feel hopeful about humanity after.

A movie where you hope the main character fails brutally the entire time.
