Bleeding Love

What a surprising gem of a movie. You know how sometimes you take a chance to watch a movie on a whim and get rewarded with a satisfying story- this is one of those films. Great movie, gritty but heartfelt with moments of humor. Quirky New Mexican characters throughout. Lovely acting between father and daughter. Was definitely worth watching. Loved the way it was filmed.

Apparently, the main characters are really father and daughter as well. Ewan Macgregor and his daughter Clara shine as the protagonists, a father and daughter road tripping through the southwest, I would definitely recommend.

A father takes his estranged daughter on a road trip in an effort to get her out of trouble. Along the way they meet all types of strangers, as their strained relationship is put to the test.

I've never seen Clara McGregor before, but some of the issues she faced in real life are played out in this story. It's a testament to Ewan's character that he joined in with his daughter to make this cathartic film.

It lays bare the things you don't even know you do that affect others so deeply. And the way you think you have been kind when really you have striped someone of their dignity.

It shouts volumes that only looking for truth and meaning brings answers which ultimately creates peace.

Their performances are fabulous and I suspect because they are lived experiences. But the director deserves a shout out for bringing all of that out and showing life as raw as it can be.

I loved this film, it won't be the only time I watch it.

3 out of 5 stars.

Bleeding Love is a fair drama film about Ewan McGregor and his real life daughter. In a film about them going on a road trip while the father is trying to bond with his daughter. After she has been struggling with a drug addiction.

Story was okay. Acting was great. The script and direction did feel a little dry and dull. Its an emotional story but there is not enough substance for this film to be effective. It was predictable. The script was lacking further character development. And once the film finished there was not much to care for with the characters. Overall, it was an okay film.

You Sing Loud, I Sing Louder is a superb, thought provoking and emotional film.

A father (Ewan McGregor) attempts to reconnect with his struggling daughter (Clara McGregor) on a road trip.

Smashing performances by everyone in the cast. Clara McGregor, Ewan's real life daughter is mesmerizing on screen, and can hold her own next to her father. Ewan McGregor does some of his finest work in this and is without a doubt one of the greatest actors of the past two decades.

The film is brought to life through stunning visuals and great directing by Emma Westenberg. This is the first movie of hers that I've seen, and I can't wait to see what she does next. You Sing Loud is simply terrific. A thoughtful, contemplative and reflective piece of storytelling, with subject matter that cuts deep and almost anyone can relate to.

Everyone should see this movie.

In indie drama "Bleeding Love" reformed addict Ewan MacGregor takes estranged teen addict daughter Clara MacGregor (his actual daughter btw) on a road trip from San Diego to Santa Fe after a near fatal OD. En route they re-connect (via significant hiccups) while interacting with random characters like Jake Weary, Kim Zimmer, Vera Bulder, Travis Hammer & in cameo Esther MacGregor (another actual Ewan daughter). On her debut Ruby Caster writes with grit & integrity while Emma Westenberg directs with rich but intimate style - the real stars though are the two lead MacGregors for their terrific performances. This is a fine film indeed for fans of up-close and personal drama.
