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.

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.

The inconsistency of the situations is only enhanced by the alienation of the dialogue. [Full review in Spanish]

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.

This movies was so shockingly bad that it has altered the way I feel about Richard Gere. In it Gere is the father of a dead 19 year old son who is killed in an auto accident before Gere's character ever meets him or even knows his son exists. The son turns out to be a drug dealer (the least of the young man's flaws) a serial stalker and public humiliator of his French teacher with whom he is obsessed. The shocking part is that Gere's character condones and even romanticizes his son's stalking and threat to the teacher, as does the dead son's mother. I just do not know why Gere would have chosen to participate in such a creepy movie at the later stage of his acting career. The movie is so out of sinc with our society's understanding of male predatory behavior.

Not convincing. Not authentic, no emotion, looks like a Gere idea in an attempt to seem important? Failed miserably. How Diane Kruger and Gere accepted this is beyond comprehension. Sleepy, hollow. That's it

This is beyond belief bad. I fast forwarded to the ending and still couldn't watch it.

Why?? That's all I've got. Richard Gere, you must have been desperate.

This is some of the most spectacularly ridiculous dialog I’ve ever heard.

This has got to be the worst movie I have ever watched. When I saw Richard Greer, I said oh this should be good. Every half hour it got worse
