‘I Care a Lot’: Netflix Viewers Freak out Over Rosamund Pike and Eiza Gonzalez’s On-Screen Romance

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.
