Read our privacy policy An air of mystery surrounded Rosamund Pike in “Gone Girl” but there's no mistaking her in “I Care a Lot.” Sporting designer suits and a bob cut so sharp that you tremble for her stylist Pike's Marla Grayson is ruthlessly imperious from head to toe.

Language: English The elderly care system becomes a warped microcosm of capitalism writ large in the ironically titled I Care a Lot.
