Exciting news for film enthusiasts! Elizabeth Olsen and Charles Melton have been cast as the leads in Todd Solondz's upcoming darkly comic feature film, Love Child. The movie promises to be an intriguing blend of comedy and drama, exploring themes of love, deception, and the complexities of relationships.
Love Child revolves around Misty, a woman trapped in a loveless marriage with a brutish husband. Her only solace comes from her intelligent and precocious 11-year-old son.
