Longing Ratings & Reviews
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
Manipulative. Clever, but manipulative.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Still, this is a welcome and unusual movie, and Gere gives a compelling performance.
Common Sense Media
Christie Cronan
This drama about love, loss, and self-discovery distills the complexity of grief.
jackiekcooper.com
Jackie K. Cooper
The movie's entertainment is based on Gere's performance and he never disappoints.
Cultured Vultures
Natasha Alvar
Richard Gere delivers a sincere, moving performance as a father who mourns the loss of a son he never had the chance to know.
Spectrum Culture
Alan Zilberman
Longing ultimately becomes a test of patience, not just for the audience, but for all the people the hero offends on his unique journey into fatherhood.
Assignment X
Abbie Bernstein
We can tell we're meant to be moved, but at least in the U.S./Canadian cultural context, it seems not only unusual, but possibly disrespectful of the dead.
The Daily Beast
Caroline Siede
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.
Variety
Alissa Simon
It seems odd that given the chance to remake his own film, Gabizon didn't choose to make his protagonist more sympathetic or change the scenes that seem so out of tune with contemporary audiences.
Screen Rant
Stephen Holland
Longing is a convoluted film that does a good job setting up a compelling drama and then fails to appropriately answer the questions that it poses.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Richard Gere's powerfully understated portrayal elevates this otherwise uneven melodrama, which evolves into an offbeat and somewhat awkward mystery with twists both compelling and calculated.
RogerEbert.com
Nell Minow
"Longing" is a manifestation of how grief makes emotions overtake reason and the inherent resilience that sometimes requires you to come back to reality.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
Peculiar. The situations are absurd like his power over others and offbeat, unlikely details distract.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[Gere's] performance is authentic ... but the same cannot be said of the melodrama surrounding the actor...
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Longing, presumably intended as a cathartic meditation on grief, simply feels absurd.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
Plausibility complaints always feel cheap, but "Longing" strains credulity well past the breaking point.
We Live Entertainment
Aaron Neuwirth
The script isn't doing many favors, as the Daniel character comes off as a petulant weirdo at times, which can be explained away by sudden bouts of grief, but still finds the film struggling to make him seem like a protagonist we need to stand behind.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A schmaltzy and convoluted mess.
TheWrap
William Bibbiani
It's a film that's full of love, but it's an unhealthy love that's detached from reality and the movie seems detached as well. It's too maudlin to convey its own moral complexity and too foreboding to be sentimental.
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
Never really goes anywhere and leaves you scratching your head about what the filmmaker intended… and why he felt the need to make the same movie twice.
