Critics Consensus

Despite Richard Gere's compelling turn as a grieving man, this melodrama may leave viewers longing for something more rewarding, like the filmmaker's original Israeli version.

Manipulative. Clever, but manipulative.

Still, this is a welcome and unusual movie, and Gere gives a compelling performance.

Rated: 3/4

The Daily Beast

Though the action has been moved to Canada, [Savi] Gabizon’s twisty story of grief and discovery remains largely the same. So it’s odd that the biggest problem with Longing is that it feels like its tone got lost in translation.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

No character functions like a human being. None of them make decisions or tell you things, and the dialogue is so sterile.

This drama about love, loss, and self-discovery distills the complexity of grief.

The movie's entertainment is based on Gere's performance and he never disappoints.

I almost can’t believe this dramatic movie starring Richard Gere was made. Great start, terrible middle and the ending was almost comical. The start of the movie: In a nutshell Richard's character recently discovers he has a son from an ex girlfriend he last saw twenty years ago. They never met as news of the boy’s existence is learned after the son dies in a car accident. End of the movie: A wedding is held between his dead teenage son and a dead teenage woman who never knew one other while alive. The parents of the deceased think a wedding is appropriate because they share the same values at a graveyard. The movie is so bad I can’t believe a film studio would finance such rubbish after reading this garbage script.

The acting by some is acceptable and in fact I think it is one of Gere’s better performances but the plot line is weak and disappointing. Diane Kruger never disappoints and she is an asset although unable to save the film.
