A New Dark Comedy, 'I Care A Lot' Comes to Netflix

A new dark comedy lands on Netflix and we've got the details. Written and directed by J Blakeson, I Care A Lot tells the story of a court-appointed legal guardian who drains the savings of her elderly clients. But her latest mark comes with unexpected baggage. Here's the full synopsis. 

Poised with sharklike self-assurance, Marla Grayson (Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike) is a professional, court-appointed guardian for dozens of elderly wards whose assets she seizes and cunningly bilks through dubious but legal means. It’s a well-oiled racket that Marla and her business-partner and lover Fran (Eiza González) use with brutal efficiency on their latest “cherry,” Jennifer Peterson (two-time Academy Award winner Dianne Wiest) — a wealthy retiree with no living heirs or family.

But when their ​​mark turns out to have an equally shady secret of her own and connections to a volatile gangster (Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage), Marla is forced to level up in a game only predators can play — one that’s neither fair, nor square.

​Starring Rosamund Pike, Peter Dinklage, Eiza González, Chris Messina, Macon Blair, Alicia Witt, Damian Young, with Isiah Whitlock Jr. and Dianne Wiest, the film is executive produced by Andrea Ajemian and  Sacha Guttenstein. Producers include Teddy Schwarzman, p.g.a., Ben Stillman, Michael Heimler, p.g.a., and J Blakeson, p.g.a.. 

I Care A Lot premieres February 19, 2021.
