Have you seen the movie "I Care A Lot" on Netflix? SPOILERS. Question.

[Goodheart]

How much of that seize a person and make them a ward of a profiteer do you suppose actually goes on?

By the way, the movie stinks.

1. The concept mortifies me.

Acting was so so but the concept is there. My mom is in assisted living and Covid has made her life hell. We have a hard time advocating for her when we can't visit and see things first hand. Video visits don't work because of diminished mental capacity. The staff is overworked and they can't pay her the attention she needs. We have to rely on staff reports and reports are lean.

2. I wondered the same thing. A lot of people didn't care for the movie because of the ending, but I

thought the element of poetic justice was well placed

I also thought the movie wasn’t bad, and the acting was well done

3. I saw it and have little to say about it.

I didn't feel a connection with any of the characters. Acting was good, but this is such a touchy subject that the ending was redemption for a very difficult subject. Greedy people taking advantage of the most vulnerable. How repulsive.

Okay, maybe I had something to say about it.

4. The movie "Stinks" that's your opinion. I think is was one of the best I have seen

lately. As far as the nursing home scam I would say it is pretty common. My brother was a victim of something similar.
My brother was an alcoholic and a hermit after his live in girl friend died. The girl friend's daughter that had
absolutely nothing to do with my brother had a will made up giving everything to her. After my brother passed away she comes
up with this unsigned will and a lawyer that testified my brother signed it. After we got access to my brothers safe deposit box
there was only one signed will from years ago giving everything to our younger brother. Anyway it went before a Probate Judge that recognized the women's unsigned will. In his decision he determined the signed will was "either lost or destroyed by others". So yes I bet it
happens a lot more than we know.

5. It was a big scandal in Nevada in recent years

6. It was a delicious movie. So many bad guys.

Just like our current world. Rosamund Pike was superb as Marla Grayson. Learned from the movie: if you lose a tooth put it in a jug of milk - voila, you saved it. 😆

8. Just watched it last night.

I so wanted her to die a painful death, evil, but it was only fitting that it was not another criminal who took her out, but one of her victims. I enjoyed the movie.

9. (Spoiler) My only qualm is that Russian mobsters are typically

more efficient that what is depicted. Her swimming out of the river also wasn't credible. They would have bolused at least
a liter of vodka and waited until she was totally incapacitated before doing the car thing. For the girlfriend, someone would
have been in the apartment (before) her arrival.

10. I was horrified by this movie

I work as a senior move manager and was clearing out an apartment on a man who went into hospital care in the facility. One of guys taking furniture donations told me about the movie. Usually our clients make the decision themselves or a family member does. I never heard of a court appointed racket system like this before.

Really made me angry

11. Could you expand a little on ...

'the movie stinks'

?

[Keth]

12. Maybe

Just maybe on some level this stuff goes on, although you need to get quite a few folks involved in the "scandal." I don't know how these people live with themselves - I guess they have no souls.

I liked the movie, hated Maria (which means good acting as always, Rosamund Pike), and I liked the left turns and twists. Peter Dinklage and Dianne Wiest are also good and anything with Chris Messina and I'm watching. I guess this is what they call a dark comedy, but for me more darkness than funny.

13. Link to story from the New Yorker

How the Elderly Lose Their Rights

The movie was based on actual events.

14. I really liked it. Rosamund Pike was outstanding.

15. I just watched it the other day and was

mesmerized. Such a terrific Trumpian scam run by competent con women. The car in the river, though, was literally beyond belief.

I thought the acting was superb.
