I Care a Lot is on Netflix now, and the movie's fans are loving the couple at the film's center. The movie centers on Rosamund Pike's Marla Grayson, a crooked businesswoman who abuses legal guardianships to take control over elderly people's assets shadily. It's a dark comedy, with Marla as the protagonist, even though it's hard to root for her. However, her relationship with her employee Fran (Eiza González) is one aspect of the movie that helps win viewers over.

The con-women grift together and share a steamy romance at the same time. Plus, there's no real internal strife between them, meaning they don't spend time fighting with one another. Instead, Marla and Fran care for one another and are a united front against the movie's antagonists. While plenty of viewers acknowledge they're awful people due to their business dealings, many still love the romantic aspect of Pike and González's characters. Scroll through to see some of the elated reactions to the on-screen couple.

"This movie was 2 hours of pure chaos that had my emotions on a rollercoaster, but I loved every minute of Marla and Fran together," one fan wrote. A second wrote, "ive never seen two pretty wives as pretty as Marla and Fran omfg."

​

"The fact that Marla and Fran are the main couple of I Care a Lot and there was no drama about their relationship," a pleased viewer wrote. "They're just a couple like everyone else [heart emoji]."

​

"Fran and Marla in I Care a Lot (2020) can run me over with a truck and I won't even run for my life," another admirer joked. Yet another added, "watched this (I Care a Lot) tonight. Please give me more movies with these bomb ass women."

​

"hated them but they were so cute," one Netflix viewer with mixed emotions tweeted. Another person said, "#ICareALot gives me Bound(1996) vibes. It's so f—ing good. Rosamund Pike and Eiza González are a force."

​

"I watched #ICareALotNetflix and loved Rosamund Pike and Eiza González in it, their chemistry was amazing," another viewer wrote. "The story itself doesn't really allow me to root for them, but that might be the point? No one is in the right here and I like that they made a point of it at the end."
