Hit the road with the McGregor family, as Ewan McGregor and his daughter Clara star alongside each other in the 2024 new movie Bleeding Love.

Hollywood history is filled with classic road movies, from Oscar Best Picture winner It Happened One Night to Easy Rider to Planes, Trains and Automobiles to Mad Max: Fury Road (an apocalyptic road movie, but a road movie nonetheless). The setting allows for some great scenic vistas and forces characters to deal with their drama as they travel great distances with each other. That certainly looks to be the case in Bleeding Love, a father-daughter drama.
