"I've Been Poor. It Doesn't Agree With Me."

Marla Grayson (Pike) is a dubious court-appointed legal guardian of several vulnerable elderly citizens. Using her influential network of people she swindles their assets lawfully. While doing so she comes across Jennifer Peterson, a senior citizen who allegedly has no kin of her own. This leads Marla to get entangled in a mafia world.

Pike won Golden Globe for this role and rightly so. She plays this sinister, ruthless woman to the T with child-like innocence. If you enjoyed Gone Girl you ought to like it too. It is nice seeing Peter Dinklage for the first time after GOT finale. He plays Roman pitted against Grayson beautifully.

The film makes us question the authenticity of guardian system in US.
