- Опубліковано 12 вер 2020
- Director J Blakeson, Rosamund Pike, Peter Dinklage, and Eiza Gonzalez in conversation with TIFF in advance of I CARE A LOT's premiere at the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival. A legal conservator (Pike) who defrauds elderly clients runs afoul of a gangster (Dinklage), in this droll thriller from Blakeson.
The 45th Toronto International Film Festival runs September 10 to 19, 2020. For more, visit tiff.net.
Parens patriae refers to a government’s obligation to protect those of its citizens deemed too vulnerable to care for themselves. Although altruistic in intent, it is a principle that has been exploited to forcibly place senior citzens under the care and control of court-appointed guardians. With his sardonic thriller I Care A Lot, writer-director J Blakeson (The Disappearance of Alice Creed) lays out the duplicitous means by which these guardians can overmedicate, gaslight, swindle, and even kidnap their elderly wards, all within the bounds of the law.
The ice-cool Marla Grayson (Rosamund Pike) is one such unscrupulous profiteer. Having made a mint selling off the assets of the dozens of retirees trapped in her permanent care, she and her partner Fran (Eiza González) stumble upon a veritable golden goose in the form of Jennifer Peterson (Dianne Wiest), a mark with no apparent family or debt, only a tidy fortune to be mined. But, while applying their scam, Marla and Fran soon discover that Ms. Peterson is not who they thought she was, and that their actions have disturbed the designs of a crime lord (Peter Dinklage).
Part cautionary exposé of all-too-real elder abuse rackets, part welcome excuse to pit the wickedly entertaining Pike and Dinklage against each other in a game of uproarious reprisals, I Care A Lot barrels along a twisty trajectory rife with terribly dark, but darkly funny, behaviour - as well as adamant reminders to please respect your elders.
J Blakeson was born in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England, and studied film and literature at the University of Warwick. His credits as director include The Disappearance of Alice Creed (09), which premiered at the Festival, The 5th Wave (16), the BBC miniseries Gunpowder (17), and I Care A Lot (20). - Фільми й анімація
screaming at how rosamund smiles when eiza talks about her. we love a supportive wife
U dont skizofrenia men
Rosamund has such a beautiful smile
I really enjoyed this film. I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but the performance from Rosamund Pike was enough to make me want to stick with it until the end.
Right! Pike has such a good customer service smile. And also I loved how she was just a rutheless bad bitch with no remorse so cool to see
I may try to watch it again. The way they scam old people without regard to their welfare or their families, was hard for me to watch. I didn’t make it very far. At some point I’ll try again.
Rosamund such a beauty and so talented
I was longing for Eiza to say in our country we take care of our elderly loved ones at home... 🥰 I'm glad she did. ❤
I totally agree with her too ... I love my Mexican culture
@@fernandomarquez365 I think it is more or less true for many developing countries. We Indians have similar culture though I see many such care homes popping up here too.
I’m glad she said that too!
I’m not going to say that as a country, America isn’t bad about about sending elderly people to nursing homes. BUT this movie isn’t about that. Some, if not all, of the old people in the movie, were forced by these women con artists into care. It wasn’t their families.
If you loved her performance in Gone Girl you will love her performance in this film also. A truly Oscar Worthy Performance but she wasn't even Nominated, shocking.
This is the best film I've seen in ages. Keeps you perched on the edge of your chair literally! Wow! Marla was pure evil, brilliant acting 👏
Rosamund Always stunning ! Great actress.
She's so beautiful. Her complexion is flawless.
Pike was amazing! She carried the whole movie with her strong deranged character and witty lines. Lots of surprises. It's a fun and interesting movie. To those of you who are complaining it was a bad movie because the leads are bad people: that's the point. I hate her from start to finish but she really good.
Almost everyone is talking about Rosamund and she’s amazing not gonna take that away from her brilliant in this movie and Gone Girl...also Eiza does a really good job but not many people are talking about Peter Dinklage huge fan of his since Game of Thrones nostalgic for me!!! 🥺
The reason I decided to watch the movie in the first place.
Enjoyed this film. Loved the performances and while I was horrified at the concept I was also thoroughly entertained. It raises awareness without preaching and makes you think. Bravo !
Great interview as well. Smart questions and appreciate that you gave space for each one to express their thoughts fully.
Movie is a masterpiece, and the Oscar goes to - Rosamund Pike :)
Not woke enough :)
I really loved this film , it has so many things in it that somehow mesh perfectly - satiric social commentary, thriller, action, brilliant acting all around, twisty plot, openly entertaining. And Ms Gonzalez said it very well - it breaks stereotypes. So many stereotypes broken without any fuss was such breath of fresh air - about roles that women can inhabit, about wise judges, about mafia bosses and mafia in general, about old people etc. Top marks, this film👏
Great movie. I have never had interest in any movie so intensely to watch twice in 1 week, perhaps maybe after 10 years I'll watch again but never interested in 1 week and eager. This movie was an eye opening based on true events as the writer said and Rosemond Pike playing made it super fantastic. Great acting from her.
Rosamund played that role to a T!😁👍 She killed it!💜
Loving Eiza !
Damns such talented actors.
Eiza my love🇲🇽😍
The costume design and soundtrack is pretty great
Beautiful Eiza and Rosemund ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You Guys Killed It 💯
Best Movie In A Long Time
Hope You Guys Win An Award
Got so affected with the premise ... so mad with Rosamund and so bad that I want her to win the Oscar.
The cast were absolutely GREAT!! ✨✨
He says that he didn't want to make it a straight drama and a little more comedic but I found it to be 100% horrifying so
He did a great job of making this film a piece of shit! You could tell the actors were trying hard not to laugh at what they were doing.
Britney shouldn't have to fund a legal battle against herself. End conservatorship abuse #freebritney
Really enjoyable story & of course the one & only Gone Girl esque performance again by Ms. Pike.
really like this movie........ all of you so great......
I hope people realize how real this is. We have family being abused by a bank that's small and local to them but has been around over 130 years so that bank has given work to every local law firm, ensuring that none would ever represent anyone against them. By suing this 97 yr old and his 94 yr old wife, the bank has ensured that no government protection agencies will investigate the bank's wrongdoing, since govn't agencies won't get involved when there's a lawsuit. AND, though the couple fired the bank before the bank sued, the lawsuit ensures that the bank can continue to charge the couple fees and use their money as the bank wants..... even if the bank does NOthing for them. The bank is supposed to be in charge of the couple's money and assets and pay their bills but they've allowed health and life insurance policies to lapse and loans to go unpaid, let their home foreclose, and let debts double and triple..... And, in the end, this 97 yr old man (who worked until age 74) and his 94 yr old wife (who worked until age 80), and their daughter, who has taken care of them full-time and without pay for 5 years, will be bankrupt because the bank has ensured that the couple pays ALL attorney fees for both sides, as well as the bank's fees for continuing to commit financial rape of this couple.
This movie made me feel all the feelings :) BRAVO👏🏾
Loved it.what a great movie!
Tbh pike has such a good customer service smile. Like I can imagine her at like whole foods dealing with a Karen with that smile on lmao
*Eiza.* 😍
This very relevant! It happened to me. And I promised myself I will remember this and share this experience to other women .
I loved every bit of this movie.. great performances... n simply awesome storyline 👏
I appreciated the movie. Congrats!

Peter, Diane and Rosamund are great here..❤️

I love movie ICAL. I love Rosamund and Eiza so much. Love u ❤️❤️❤️
She did have some morals- she doesn’t murder . She tells Peter Dinklage s character this as well- come at me legally.
Eiza bebe ❤️
Rosamund Pike, súper talentosa, mucho mejor que otras está claro.
Peter dinklage 😍
Loved it.
Eiza baby 😍🥰
How amazing is this movie set in America,.. with two amazing women in the lead who are both not american and one latin..
Perhaps cos this happens a lot in America?
@@51stcenturygirl two non American leading ladies in an American production happens a lot in America? BOTH of them?
@@folkgirrl sorry I meant the whole scam thing and how many negative roles, specialty ones that put USA in bad light are usually played by non-USA actors. I was sleepy when I wrote that... But yes usually it's not more than one character. Maybe it's because director is a Brit.
Good questions, moderator.
I care a lot is my Comfort movie :)
Eiza ❤️❤️❤️💙💙
Great movie
Eiza ❤️
Not the kind of movie (violence & seemingly amoral characters) I would normally have watched, but when I finally did watch anyway, WOW! The depth of all of the characters hooked me, especially the depth of the love and commitment Marla & Fran have for each other, WOW again, very female, very lesbian. I want to know so much more about their relationship and how they each ended up so jaded and then together, etc. (actually, same for the mobster & his mom). I would watch the sequel without any hesitancy although the reasons I would want to see and watch are probably not the reasons to motivate it being written and made. I'd love to see it though. Well Done to all involved! Thanks....
Yeah very female, very lesbian, very elderly abuse ❤
Oscar para Pike, es la mejor
So much cool and beautiful and intelligent on this one screen! :)
I was confused when Eiza said "we created a good alchemy" but she was trying to say chemistry.
But I'm really impressed by her English. Even though it's not her first language, she's really fluent and has a really good accent.
She probably meant alchemy since it is the "science" of turning common metal into gold. Certainly an appropriate use of the word since she is talking figuratively.
Look it up in the dictionary. She definitely used the right word...
al·che·my
/ˈalkəmē/
Learn to pronounce
noun
the medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the supposed transformation of matter. It was concerned particularly with attempts to convert base metals into gold or to find a universal elixir.
"occult sciences, such as alchemy and astrology"

witchcraft
enchantment
a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination.
Ms. Pike, not providing the doctor prescribed dosage of medication to a person under your care is neglect and possibly abuse. This is illegal. A guardian have almost total control of their wards, but they cannot adjust a prescribed medication. A guardian can stop a medication. Loved your performance, as always.
This film is deliciously evil and wicked, well acted and original. And I loved it. Sick of people saying her character got no retribution for said evil and wickedness. I mean, it was vigilante justice, but justice just the same!
#FreeBritney !!!
I’m glad this movie was made.
Elder abuse is real!
I ask the whole Planet not to let anyone click on them anymore more than that each person must understand that he does not deserve and more than that he must understand that he must apologize in public more than that I ask the whole Planet to react fully and more than that to fully respect the family
If You look on google "signor carlo rinchiuso in rsa" You can find a true italian story.
Eiza and Rosamund have on the same shirt. Coincidence? I think not.
Similar, not the same.
I've never hated a main character in a movie as much as in this one haha. Fantastic job by the actress
#GoneGirl
You have to understand that I have two children, I never endanger children or my wife. You have to understand
I wondering why was there a lesbian line in the movie? To make it tolerable and natural for the society? Am I right? 🤔
I'm wondering why there wouldn't be one.
@@psa921416 MK ultra rulez 👀
Because it's totally possible and fucking hot ? Yeah, sure. You may now stop wondering.
Pinche Eiza... Habla súper chingón en inglés alv
Tryion Lannister as a russian mafia lol
I totally ask for it to be absolutely that Who they were to be automatically sanctioned and moreover to understand that he tended a family and moreover he must understand that he wanted to touch my family I ask for justice for them for the family my
❤️
Wow I will never come to America more Both you make me gay and I have a nice family We look beautiful very beautiful
Get a life.
Love Eiza and how she fkd her way to the top
Whaaaaat? Spill the tea lol
You have to understand that they are not an actor and more than that they are kind of like criminals and more than that they are trying to get the public opinion to earn a thread of dollars or a thread of something or a job or something. understand to apologize I publicly want to fully apologize to you That's all I want
Did he pay them enough? I mean, he HAS TO know that his movie was bad, so at least he should've paid the actors fairly... right?
It’s pronounced Aza... common!! Do your most basic homework!!!
Epic Fail. No one is going to root for elder abuse. Not gonna happen.
Did someone suggest that we do?
One of the worst characters of all time. One of the most well-made awful movies. Moral corruption from the beginning, no Justice in end.
ALL GREAT ACTORS IN 1 MOVIE..But, the film was so annoying and
infuriating & scenes was so unrealistic.. happy that MARLA DIED at the end..
Worst choice is that eiza
Girl what? How is Eiza the worst choice??!!!
Eiza the reseone that I watched the movie 💔😉
If you don’t like her work don’t watch it, hater!!!
Stop the envy please. I’m sure you have something personal against her. I watched her because I found very interesting the team Pike / Gonzalez.
Huh
Awful movie. Stupid premise to begin with, unlikely “retaliation “ scenes, and filled with hackneyed stereotypes. Ugh. What a waste of talent all around.
Worst film
Why
Oh why
Shut tf up!! You're just a hater of one of these actors!!! The movie is just awesome!!👏
There is NO way you have seen the movie yet.
@@riddlemethis2610yeah the movie even did not have the trailer right
