Oscar winner Rachel Weisz dives into 'serious and unexpected work' in Todd Solondz's dark comedy 'Love Child'

"It's fun and it's sexy", Rachel Weisz, Oscar winner, couldn't help but gush over her new project, Love Child, when speaking with Deadline back in 2021. The movie has since made waves in the industry thanks to its unique take on the Oedipal story and the reunion of Weisz with her 'The Lobster' co-star, Colin Farrell.

"My First Movie with a Plot"

These were the exact words of Todd Solondz, the director of Love Child. The film is a departure from his previous works and is instead inspired by the Hollywood movies that spurred him to become a filmmaker. It was also Solondz's first venture in Texas, a move that added another layer of freshness to his oeuvre.

Rachel Weisz Dives Into "Serious and Unexpected Work"

Weisz's portrayal in Love Child will be a turning point in her already illustrious career. "I’ve loved Rachel and Colin’s work forever, and am so honored to be able to excite their passion for serious and unexpected work as well," said Solondz, as reported by Deadline. The Love Child project marked a shift for Weisz as she began exploring more complex roles, further establishing her acting prowess.

Following Love Child, Weisz continued to impress audiences and critics alike with her roles in Marvel’s Black Widow and Amazon’s Dead Ringers, a reimagining of David Cronenberg’s cult classic 1980s film.

'Love Child' is going to be a crucial stepping stone for both Weisz and Farrell, paving the way for more challenging and intriguing roles in their future works.
