After a drastic incident in her life, a young woman (Clara McGregor) embarks on an impromptu road trip with her estranged father (Ewan McGregor). En route to their destination of Santa Fe, New Mexico, the two are forced to confront the issues of their past that have led to their frail relationship, while encountering an eccentric array of characters along the way, in order to bring them closer together again.

Critics Consensus

Bleeding Love benefits from strong interplay between Ewan and Clara McGregor, although their efforts are somewhat undermined by a less than scintillating script.

Decent performances from both McGregors can’t breathe much spirit (alcoholic or otherwise) into the film’s listless and generic screenplay.

2/5

There’s no dramatic tension, our protagonists whine a lot and they seem, at best, like two solipsistic twits driving around the desert and moaning about parenting.

We’ve followed this kind of bicker-and-heal therapeutic arc so many times now, the onus falls on all involved to spike it with truth, or at least novelty.

4/5

Emma Westenberg’s Bleeding Love is a moving father-daughter drama that also might just be one of the scariest films I’ve ever seen.

This is clearly a very personal project for both McGregors, and that is often felt in Ewan and Clara’s tender performances opposite each other, which are naturalistic and honest in both their nerviness and initial awkwardness around one another.

This movie is not for everyone, but I found myself loving the atmosphere and begging for the relationship to be mended. It hurts to watch as a father, and leaves you rooting for the best possible outcome.

When watching these types of stories, upon reflective potential underlying relatability, bolstered by the starring gimmick of real-life relations acting out a given storyline, there tend to be certain expectancy that either falls in despair or rises warmly with hope whilst touching personal and therapeutic levels. A routinely pedestrian debut benefitting from the father-daughter chemistry with Ewan successfully evokes resonance, over a thinly unbalanced screenplay. (B)

This really should be good. It has the elements. But it isn't. In fact, it's bad. It a lot of coloring with no real story. It's a shame.

Interesting take on a daughter/father relationship once strained. To watch the growth over the film between the two is worth the build up. Humor and heart. Worth the watch. Enjoy.
