The first trailer for Louis C.K.’s controversial and highly anticipated I Love You, Daddy premiered on Wednesday. In the black-and-white film, which is reminiscent in both style and substance of Woody Allen's Manhattan, C.K. plays a successful television producer whose 17-year-old daughter (Chloë Grace Moretz) starts dating a much older filmmaker played by John Malkovich. Arriving amidst the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse allegations, the film also appears to comment on rumors of sexual misconduct that have been levied against C.K. over the years. “There are these people in the world that we all talk about, and we want to know that they’re all good or they’re all bad,” C.K. told The New York Times in an interview last month. “The uncomfortable truth is, you never really know. You don’t know anybody. To me, if there was one thing this movie is about, it’s that you don’t know anybody.”
