I Care a Lot : The Shocking True Stories Behind the Netflix Movie
On 2/24/21 at 7:25 AM EST
I Care a Lot is the latest movie to hit the top of the Netflix charts, with viewers finding themselves shockingly compelled by the actions of the villainous guardian Marla Grayson (played by Rosamund Pike) and the rest of the movie s gruesome parade of horrible people.
Many of Marla s actions seem like the fevered imaginings of a Hollywood screenwriter trying to write a truly despicable villain, as she forces vulnerable old people under her conservatorship and then steals from them.
Marla s business, however, has some parallels with some real-life stories of elder abuse.
