Ez számomra Promising Adult Woman! Érdekes téma a karakterek modern meghatározásával, a kőkemény egók okos csatája, ahol senki sem angyal, és mindenki megérdemel egy pofont. Egyszerre thriller és gengszterfilm, olyan szuverén női főszereplővel, mint Clint Eastwood Leone-westernjeiben, és egyben az amerikai társadalom találó tükre szerzői betéttel. Rosamund Pike hosszú idő óta a legjobb női alakítást nyújtja itt az angol nyelvű filmben - nem díjnyertes mélységgel, hanem azzal, hogy sebészi pontosságú arckifejezésekkel ékesít minden jelenetet. Ő a gerince ennek a merészen feldolgozott műfaji elemek keverékének. Peter Dinklage szereposztása elsőre bizarrnak tűnik, de fokozatosan tökéletesen beleillik a film karikatúraszerű koncepciójába. Egy film, amely akár egy bukta is lehetett volna, de a remek rendezésnek és Pike-nak köszönhetően egy kis posztmodern gyöngyszem lett belőle. (2021.02.22)

Rosamund Pike plays your typical, ruthless, evil, confident bitch who literally gets away with everything. The film has a compelling story about a woman who steals from defenseless pensioners and always gets away with it, until she runs into a lady who has dangerous friends. In addition to Rosamund Pike’s great performance, there is an excellent antagonist in Peter Dinklage (known to most as Tyrion). It’s nicely and engagingly shot, it has style, swing and panache, and plenty of twists and turns are not spared and suspense. I certainly wasn't expecting such an entertaining, engaging and intelligent film. Netflix is on.

An excellent, cynical, motherfucking thriller about the conflict between two assholes. Rosamund Pike enjoys herself plenty playing a despicable being who abuses defenceless old people, until one day she messes with an old woman who has very dangerous friends. It’s brisk, with excellent performances and a lot of fun, but unfortunately not so well written. In the last act things go a bit too over-the-top and the script begins to rely too much on unlikely coincidences. But I’m willing to turn a blind eye to it, because the ending was pleasant. In short, great satisfaction. (2021.02.19)

Of course, I'm glad it turned out the way it did .... but had it ended a few minutes earlier, I would’ve tipped my proverbial hat because a film with such big cynical balls would be remembered years from now. Blakeson just went soft, but it doesn’t matter, my idealistic little soul was relieved, so at least I send my kisses to Rosamund, those mischievously ironic pursed lips of hers at exactly the right moment, that eye play, it was an acting recital.

With our government’s policies, I probably (luckily) won’t survive until my retirement. It’s just a matter of time until Marla inspires somebody to open a similar professional care service in this country. This cynical, female version of Scarface surfs on the waves of modern trends and, but still comes across subversively. It has a perfect screenplay which doesn’t falter, even at the end, and it manages to squeeze both comedy and a good portion of tension from the ridiculous premise about a "carer" who (completely legally) robs the mother of a white slave trade boss. Rosamund Pike’s acting recital is tastefully seconded by Peter Dinklage. Unexpectedly satisfying. (2021.02.24)
