simple yet emotional: a heartwarming story
I found "Love Child" by chance and decided to give it a try - and I'm glad I did!The story is simple: a young couple trying to navigate life with their autistic child.
The characters don't really have a deep personality (but they honestly don't have to); Ayla was a model student and dreams of becoming a lawyer while Paolo wants to be a filmmaker. Still, the characters are easily likable and the watcher can relate to their actions. The movie mostly follows the daily life of the family and the troubles they face - so don't expect much drama.
Despite the simple story and characters, it manages to connect the story of Ayla's and Paolo's relationship and the story between Kali and his parents nicely. The story progresses in a good pace, never leaving me feel bored while watching. Furthermore, the acting and the visuals (e.g. the coloring) capture the feelings this movie wants to portray perfectly.
Do I recommend this movie? Obviously yes - if you're in for a simple but emotional story!
