Ewan and Clara McGregor shine in the family road-trip drama, Bleeding Love. The film comes to digital entertainment on July 22nd.
Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment is thrilled to announce that Bleeding Love, the compelling indie drama starring real-life father-daughter duo, Golden Globe Winner, Ewan McGregor, and Clara McGregor, will be available on all major digital platforms on 22nd July.
Following its World Premiere at SXSW, the debut feature from Emma Westenberg was selected as the Opening Gala at the 20th Glasgow Film Festival. Playing to sell out audiences. Bleeding Love went on to have a successful theatrical run earlier this year. Collider praised the film for its “mesmerising authenticity”. The road-trip drama now heads home for the digital release.
Our own editor, Phil Roberts, has seen the film and said in his three-star review:
“Bleeding Love is a decent movie with good intentions and impressive performances, but it fails to stand out in any other way.”

PREMISE
In hopes of reconnecting with his estranged child, a father (Golden Globe®-Winner Ewan McGregor) embarks on an impromptu road trip with his now-adult daughter (Clara McGregor). After she has a near-fatal drug overdose. He is planning to take her to rehab. Though she doesn’t know that. En route to their destination of Santa Fe, New Mexico. And encountering an eccentric array of characters along the way, the two are forced to confront the issues of their past. The trip proves less about the road that they’re on, and more about the troubled one from their past.
Bleeding Love plays things close to home with fan favourite, Ewan McGregor starring alongside his real-life daughter Clara. Who co-wrote the script with Vera Bulder and Ruby Caster. She has said that though it is fiction, aspects of it draw on her sometimes tricky relationship with her dad in the past.
