‘On Our Way’ Trailer: Micheál Richardson Is a Tortured Filmmaker Reeling from Heartbreak

Filmmaker Sophie Lane Curtis makes her directorial debut with “On Our Way,” marking another collaboration with Brady Corbet after starring in his “Childhood of a Leader” and “Vox Lux.”

Actress Curtis co-stars in “On Our Way,” which she also wrote. The film follows a director (Micheál Richardson, who is Liam Neeson’s son) who grapples with losing the love of his life (Curtis) while struggling to accept his latest script. Shuffling between past, present and fantasy, the film explores art’s ability to heal the wounds that inspire it.
