Cast

Plot

A father secretly drives his estranged daughter to rehab after she has had overdose aware that she has inherited his addiction problems, and after he has started a new family elsewhere.[1]

Production

Christine Vachon acted as producer.[2] Clara McGregor is credited as a producer, as well as with the story alongside scriptwriter Ruby Caster and producer/actress Vera Bulder. The idea for the story drew on aspects of the McGregor’s own father-daughter relationship, Ewan McGregor told Deadline Hollywood that the film “can be very meta and still definitely be a work of fiction and not at all biographical... I don’t suggest this is autobiographical, but there we were, playing father and daughter and we are that. You can’t help but have that be in the room.” Principal photography lasted twenty two days, but Clara McGregor and the other production staff were on set for a few months prior.[3]

Release

The film had its premiere at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas on March 11, 2023 under its original title You Sing Loud, I Sing Louder.[4] In December 2023, Vertical Entertainment acquired distribution rights to the film, now retitled Bleeding Love, and scheduled it for a theatrical release in the United States on February 16, 2024.[5]

Reception

The McGregor’s as “actors bring a weathered authenticity to this story” according to Tim Grierson in Screen Daily.[6]
