I Care a Lot was a movie that I had ignored initially because I mistook it to be of the drama genre tackling more sombre topics. On later realising that it was a thriller along the line of Gone Girl had me interested and then with the Golden Globe appreciation, it found itself in my watchlist.
The first part of the movie until the introduction Peter Dinklage had me genuinely disturbed, fearing for my future, my parents future. The idea that our life and how we spent our later phase of life was not entirely upto us had me really scared. With shift in dynamics with Dinklage's character, there was genuine dilemma as to support. Even though we see the evil nature of Marla, Roman is not a hero or anti-hero either. It was just two villains squaring off against each other. But after a few more minutes it was clear that movie was not going to be as grand as I expected.
Rosamund Pike and Peter Dinklage are easily what holds this movie. Rosamund Pike seems really comfortable playing characters that are inherently twisted but puts on a glossy sheen over themselves. Peter Dinklage also gives a genuinely intimidating performance. Its a marvel to see how he embraces his limitations to become a character that embodies menacing bossy villain. I would love to see him try out his range, since this seemed to be an extension of his Tyrion Lannister character.
The concept behind the movie had great potential and that is exactly was made the first part of the movie gripping, but then it seemed to end too soon without properly exploiting the characters and their capabilities.
